Thanks everyone for all your help. The script looks very cool indeed, but sadly I'm running with a Windows setup :( I don't yet have any Linux machines, so can't even run the script from a remote location and point it at a samba share...
In my situation, perhaps dBpoweramp - though I'm hoping to not have to recode everything, since I'm fairly sure that the majority is already at best compression. I only recently (ish) started using FLAC, so all re-rips have been done with 1.1.2 or higher. Is there any utility - perhaps similar to flacetester - that can scan through files and see if best compression is already done and then: 1. if best compression, skip to next FLAC file 2. if not best compression, re-encode or 'compress further' (if possible). You're right about the compression though - I've currently only got around 40-50GB FLAC (the rest is still MP3) so the space saving will be minimal at this stage. But as I continue to re-rip, I'm expecting to get several hundred GBs of FLAC. I'm hoping to ensure best possible compression just to make sure I'm getting best use of my disks :) (Even if this means I only get back the equivalent of a few CD singles in disk space) Cheers again!
