Would you like a step-by-step guide to burning a DTS Audio CD from .dts files? Or help identifying what exactly is in your .cdrar file?
I’m not sure which of these you mean; I’ll assume you want a clear, step‑by‑step guide to install and play a DTS-encoded audio version of the album "Queen Greatest Hits" (on CD-R/AR media) on a system supporting 5.1 surround. If that’s wrong, say what you meant.
Assumptions made
Methodical procedure
Recommendation: Use DVD-Video (or DVD-R) with DTS 5.1 streams, or a USB thumb drive with .dts files if your player supports file playback.
If you want, I can:
Here’s a simple PowerShell + command-line idea for Windows that checks if a folder of WAVs is DTS 5.1 ready for CDR:
# Check DTS 5.1 CD readiness
$files = Get-ChildItem -Filter *.wav
foreach ($f in $files)
$mediainfo = & "MediaInfo.exe" "--Output=Audio;%Format%_%Channels%_%SamplingRate%" $f.FullName
if ($mediainfo -eq "DTS_6_44100")
Write-Host "$f OK for DTS CD" -ForegroundColor Green
else
Write-Host "$f NOT valid DTS 5.1 44.1kHz" -ForegroundColor Red
(Requires MediaInfo.exe in PATH)
Since this is likely a DTS-Audio CD image, it is designed to be burned back onto a physical CD.

In CDBurnerXP:
The #1 complaint after a "cdrar install" is hearing white noise or hissing. That means your player is not decoding DTS.
If you’re trying to “install” from a .CDRAR (maybe a mislabeled .rar of DTS tracks):
Step-by-step review:
If it doesn’t work:
The phrase CDRAR implies you own the original source material. To legally create a DTS-CD of Queen’s Greatest Hits, you must:
Most DTS .cue files shared online are of questionable provenance. For true legality, buy the Queen – The DVD-Audio Collection and rip the 5.1 streams yourself.
