No, No, No, that is not what I am talking about. Of course the files are different, that is why one is FLAC and one is WAV! They use different encoders/decoders as well as a different file consort. What is Bit for Bit identical is the music which is why both are Lossless. Take a FLAC file and turn it back into a CD Audio file and it is bit for bit identical to the original file on the CD it was ripped from! Take the same CD and rip it to WAV and turn it back into CD Audio and it is bit for bit identical to the original file on the CD it was ripped from as well as the FLAC music output file (not the actual FLAC file) which means both FLAC and WAV are Lossless and bit for bit identical to the same CD Audio file they were ripped from. Not that the FLAC and WAV files are bit for bit identical, but the lossless music file outputs of both files are bit for bit identical to the same original CD they were ripped from. Are you following now? FLAC and WAV are Lossless and both are bit for bit identical to the CD they were ripped from even though their files are different. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70637 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
