Do keep in mind that although both FLAC and ALAC files are lossless, ALAC does not have an embedded CRC from original creation. What this means, is that with FLAC files, one can easily run a batch test of whether any files on your drive are corrupted. I often use this feature of FLAC files when creating a brand new backup drive. Afterwards, I convert all these files to [TEST CONVERSION] using dbpoweramp to insure that the decoded FLAC file CRC matches the embedded CRC from the original ripping. Other programs can do this too. I always like to point this out as a major benefit of FLAC files as compared with ALAC, AIFF, WAV, etc. *Home:* Pi4B-8GB/pCP7.x/4TB>LMS 8.1.x>Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* rPi4B-4GB/pCP7.x/4TB>LMS 8.1.x>Touch>Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (Radio WIFI) *Office:* Win10(64)>foobar2000 *The Wild: *rPi3B+/pCP4.0/4TB>hifiberry Dac+Pro (LMS & Squeezelite) *Controllers:* iPhone11 & iPadAir3 (iPeng), CONTROLLER, Material Skin, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win10(64) *Files:* -Ripping-: dbpoweramp > FLAC; -Post-rip-: mp3tag, PerfectTunes, TuneFusion; -Streaming:- Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114182 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
