i have about 12 track of "policehits" in ape format recorded in dolby 5.1 i want to burn them onto cd so i can play them in my dvd home player and keep the 5.1 sound. Can this be done?

APE files are monkey's audio file format. Sorry I don't about a CD Burning application that burns APE files directly to CD Audio. But there are converters which could convert APE files to a more compatible audio format. Try Easy CD-DA Extractor. It supports converting APE files to MP3, WMA etc. And then you can burn them to CD Audio. Perhaps, it supports burning directly to CD Audio. I uninstalled it as soon as I finished experimenting with Ogg Vorbis.

Since you have encoded them to a lossless audio format, it is not a good idea to convert it to a lossy format. Try to convert it to WMA Lossless, if only Easy CD-DA Extractor supports burning WMA to CD Audio. If not, then convert to MP3 320kbps and then use an app like Nero Burning ROM.

I tried Jet Audio 5.0 - the newest Cowon release. They support APE file format. They also support conversions between WMA, RA, OGG, APE and MP3.

Try the free version here: .http://www.jetaudio.com/jetcast_dire...p?id=17&step=2

Surprising it doesn't allow you to encode in to MP3. But into all other above mentioned Audio formats...
