Just to clear up confusion - the reference FLAC encoder has a setting of 0-8. Other FLAC encoders can go higher, some (flake) as high as 12 - but this may cause problems decoding. FLAC -8 decodes perfectly on an SB. It used to be that at -8 you spent a lot more CPU time for just a bit more compression than at -5. However 1.1.3 had considerable compression improvements and 1.1.4 had considerable speed improvements (1.2.1 even more so) so it depends on encoder version. Plus modern CPUs like the Core 2 Duo can bust through FLAC encoding very, very quickly. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40440 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
