how do i get premiere cs3 to support flac audio files? all of the searches i have done only come up with plugins for audition. my entire library is ripped to flac, so it is rather inconvenient to have to convert every file i use.

thanks

someone must know

Sadly I think you are going to have to decode them back to wav or mpr or whatever format premiere supports.

AFAIK you'll need to convert the FLACs to standard wave files to use them. There are a number of freeware utilities around that can do that for you. Sound Devices has their Wave Agent software the does a very good job of it as their 7xx series recorders offer the option of recording to FLAC file format as well as standard BWF wave files.
