I bought some 192KHZ, 24 Bit FLAC Files.
I would like to burn these to an audio DVD so I can play them through my Blu Ray player on my home system.
How would I go about doing this?
I'm seriously considering switching from Winows to Ubuntu as I seriously dislike Windows 8.1 and have an old eMachines EL-1600. I believe this old net top will run 32 bit Ubuntu just fine. (Intel Atom 230 1.6 GHz processor and 1 GB ram with Intel 945G Express Chipset) I believe Ubuntu 12.04LTS will run perfectly, but I'm hoping the latest LTS release will as well. However, that now brings me to my question.
I've burnt a whole pile of MP3 DVDss using Win XP, and I was wondering if I install Ubuntu can they still be read? I just want to copy the MP3s back from the DVDs back to the main music folder in Ubuntu. I have no intention of installing WINE (viruses) and will beusing the pre-instlled and native Ubuntu apps such as Libre Office and Firefox which I'm already using in Windows. I also use a PPoE broadband connection so that won't be a problem either. Thank you.
I am able to play such a disc using VLC, but I am wondering if any music player supports the DVD-A format.

Example DVD-A releases:
- Porcupine Tree - Fear Of A Blank Planet
- Steven Wilson - Insurgentes
- King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King (40th anniversary edition)
UPDATE:
I checked Rhythmbox and Banshee - I found no option like Play Disc or Open Disc, so I have no idea how I could even try to start playing a DVD-A disc.
This has also nothing to do with missing plug-ins or codecs - the packages gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly, gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad and ubuntu-restricted-extras were installed on my machine before.
I guess I am stuck with VLC (Totem shows a DVD menu, but then hangs). However, I am missing the regular music player experience - ability to change order of tracks, adding tracks to a playlist, listening only to selected tracks, etc.
