Now, you guys are getting into ripping versus encoding. Ripping to WAV is something you have to do before do FLAC encoding. Errors can occur during the ripping process, but that is a different issue. Assuming the WAV file is a bit-for-bit copy, there is no way to produce "lower" quality FLAC files. All FLAC files are lossless. The 192 or 320 bitrate is irrelevant for FLAC. That is for mp3 encoding. Ignore it. This really shouldn't be such a difficult issue, but nobody seems to want to really listen to those of us who are trying to help. Listen to the words that are coming out of my mouth: FLAC is lossless. You can't change the quality of a FLAC-encoded file. You can *slightly* change the size of a FLAC file, but that has absolutely *no* effect on quality. None. Period.
