ZIP might, but audio compression works differently. FLAC for eample has a run-length block type but that is to deal with identical samples, i.e. digital silence. There's no case to handle this kind of pattern and I don't see why you'd want one - if you think that putting 16-bit numbers in 24-bit buckets is going to make them sound better, then I would think the increased file size would be desirable to help reinforce the placebo effect. ;) -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62874 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
