This is incorrect. It is true that -8 takes longer to compress, as the encoder spends more time trying to find the perfect match. And for a lot of people, the extra time is not justified, as the results are not that big of a deal. But the decompression time is fixed. Now that the latest FLAC can recompress all of your files without losing any tags, I'm thinking of setting up a background task to just compress everything again at -8, since I won't have to watch it. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
