The bitrates reported in your screen shot simply can't be right. Look at a track (let's look at track 5, for instance). The mp3 track is 5 MB and reported to be encoded at nearly 600kbps. This would mean that the track is only about 67 seconds long [5000kB/(600kbps/8)]. Furthermore, the FLAC version is 16MB, which is more than three times larger than the mp3. But if that's true then the average bitrate must be three time greater than the mp3. That would put the bitrate for the FLAC version at 1800kbps which is higher even than the 1411kbps bitrate of uncompressed WAV 44.1/16 audio. -- azinck3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35219 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
