So, if I have a 50,000 flac files with perfect metadata encoded with <=1.1.2, I should...

find . -type f -name "*.flac"  -exec flac -8 {} \; -print

And come back to my computer in about 24-48 hours?

I've tested it on a small dir tree and it seemed to be fine. I just wanted to make sure though, before having to re-tag a couple terabytes of data. This is actually a serious post, if someone knows a better/safer way to do this automagically, I'm all ears.

Thank you for your time,

If you have access to your files under Windows, I have a BAT file that will work to do what you want. You just drag the top level of the directory tree to it and it will recompress. It's not very elegant, but it works.
