A friend sent me a collection of songs to my Drop Box Account which I downloaded to a hard drive folder in My Music on my PC. There were 14 songs in FLAC files and 3 miscellaneous files, one is a CUE file, another is a LOG file and the third is a M3u file (per extensions).
I then inserted an Audio CD into my drive, copied the files over, and then answered affirmatively to the "Files waiting to be written to CD" balloon. This process took about 3 minutes. 213 MB of files in Dropbox, 213 mb on my hard drive and 213 mb on the CD.
I put the new CD into two different OPPOs and into my car player. The car player says no disc, the OPPOs (one a blue ray etc.. player, the other just an SACD/DVD etc.. player) show only a data disc with no songs on it.
Can anyone give this very old school neophyte a clue as to how to get those files onto a cd where I can actually listen to them? Very many muchos gracias tossed yer way if you can help!!

RW...You've probably gotten what you needed from this post but MediaMonkey is another excellent (free) program that will easily convert Flac to WAV and then burn it to a cd.
Initially the program will search your computer and load all/selected compatible (wav, mp3, flac, ogg, wma etc.) files into your library. You can listen to them in that form or convert them (Tools> Convert) but the program will convert them to wav when you burn the disc.
CD Burner XP would be the easiest solution. It accepts FLAC files and converts them before burning. It would even accept the m3u file to import the files and put them in the right order. The program is even free unlike many of the other suggestions.

So far, all of the suggestions are free programs.

You can download this little (free) program and simply add the flac files and then burn your cd using this same program. The software converts the file from flac to wav. When you add the flac file, make sure the file name ends with .flac.
1) Add your flac file(s) 2) Set your desired writing speed 3) Click the BURRRN button. That's it.
Note: I've used this program for years.

has a standalone converter that can decode FLAC as well. You create a playlist and select the destination directory for the WAV flavor. Then burn.
Do you have a link to this plugin? I was unaware that anything existed to allow EAC to burn a CD from FLAC files.
What the plug in can do is decode the FLAC files for you (in addition to encoding them on the initial rip). I use a separate burner once I get the play list created.
Oh, I see. Actually, I didn't even know EAC had plugins.
Download JRiver Media Jukebox. It can turn the files into CD player readable music with a few clicks of the mouse and burn them to a disc.
No joy. It moved some of my already existing MP4 files over to the Media Jukebox but not the FLAc files.

By "Media Jukebox," are you referring to the built-in hard drive on an Audi? If so, the only file formats that it will import are mp3 and mp4. No FLAC, no WAV, and it won't import songs from an audio CD.
to try to burn FLAC files off my hard drive to CDs to play in my cars' and home CD players.
Audi?

(Audi has a feature called "Jukebox"--never mind, not relevant to your issue).
I use a two-step process to convert FLAC files to audio CDs:
1. I use Foobar2000 (free download from foobar2000.org) to convert the FLAC files to WAV files. It's very easy--just drag and drop the FLAC files from a directory window into Foobar, highlight the files you want, and then right-click and choose Convert. You will have to change some of the conversion options to get the files converted to WAVs and have the WAVs go into whatever file folder you want on your PC.
2. Now you can use any CD burning program (not Windows Media Player!) to take the WAV files and burn them as an audio CD (not a data CD). The result should be playable on any CD player.

Windows media player as released from Microsoft won't play FLAC files so it won't be able to burn them. However, if you install the appropriate CODEC then it will be able to play FLAC files (and presumably burn them). The link below should get you to this CODEC.
I normally use a program called Imgburn to burn files. If you have a .cue file for the tracks to be burned it will then burn a CD by right clicking on the .cue file. It also includes software to create cue files. This program gives better control over how the CD is actually burned. (It, too, will require the FLAC CODEC to be installed otherwise it will not burn FLAC files.)

I could be wrong, but I think the program wants to have WMA files and not WAV files to burn an audio CD...
