FLAC and Sound Forge 9.0e

Hello,
Does Sound Forge Pro 9.0e en/decode FLAC files? I have several FLAC files I need to edit, but they will not play at all. If not, what is the preferred conversion tool to restore a WAV file from a FLAC container?

Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff, I am not sure about Sound Forge Pro 9, but on my PC, Pro 10 can open and encode FLAC audio files, If the FLAC format is not listed in Pro 9's Save as (type), download the FLAC codec (https://xiph.org/flac) and try that.

Otherwise this online converter should work to encode/decode FLAC and other audio formats.

Sound Forge does indeed play and encode FLAC, but only stereo. I need to edit multichannel (5.1) FLAC files, or open a multichannel WAV file and save it as FLAC. Sound Forge 11 and 12 are the same, only stereo FLAC is supported. If multichannel FLAC is supported in Save As in the new Sound Forge, it will be worth the upgrade. Please let me know, I can't find this info anywhere else.
