Stefano, Perhaps "someone" used the --no-padding option, which saves quite a bit of space. I use it all the time, even though it is not exactly recommended.
FLAC is guaranteed to give you back the original uncompressed audio data every time, but there is no guarantee that the compressed data will be the same (so long as it can be decoded). Brian Begin forwarded message: I decode and then re-encode a FLAC file someone sent to me, and I get a different file (about 3K larger). I have used: - the same version of FLAC.EXE (hash-checked) used to create the original FLAC file - the same level of compression - no tag infos were included in the original FLAC file I can't really figure out how could it be possible, but sometimes it happens (of course many times I get exactly the same 'binary' file). Any idea? Thank you very much for attention. All the best. Stefano _______________________________________________ Flac mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac
