I was expecting to see built-in FLAC support based on some FLAC wiki info, but one has to get the FLAC Encoder v1.1.2 by Michael Facquet (who I dutifully paypal'd to show my appreciation). I misunderstood the setting options for this encoder - while it allows for adjustment of Compression on a sliding scale from "Fast" to "Best" -with "Default" inbetween- the resulting FLAC is, as you pointed out, always lossless. The only thing that does is slow down the compression level if it's set to "best" because it puts the data through more processing cycles to achieve more compression, the manual says. Your message prompted me to read it. :-) At first I thought it mwant that some loss was introduce dto compress further. -- pablolie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32369 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
