I expect this is just encoding every block as 'SUBFRAME_VERBATIM'. I'm not aware of a switch on the normal flac encoder to do this, but it would be straightforward to add. This feature already exists in the format because there are occassional input blocks where the compression algorithm produces larger output than the input, so it's better just to store the equivalent data untransformed. File compression tools like gzip have a similar mode. I wouldn't worry about it though. It's unfortunate the dbPowerAmp developers want to take advantage of the subset of customer who don't understand what 'lossless' means. -r _______________________________________________ flac-dev mailing list flac-dev@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev
