What's that about?
I'm not sure where the 'ABR' and 'VBR' come from, but what you're probably seeing is a the bitrate of the Apple Lossless file (1021 kbps) and the resulting FLAC file/steam at 705.6. The 705.6 number, though, is a little suspect, as it's exactly 1/2 of the uncompressed PCM streaming rate of 1411.2 kbps. I posted recently in another thread that the bitrate (in kbps) for lossless files is computed by: file_size_in_bytes * 8_bits_per_byte / track_time_in_seconds / 1000 The 1411.2 kbps number mentioned in the first post above is the streaming rate of PCM, so I would assume FLAC streaming was disabled at the time. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69373 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
