Mp3 greyd out is lame installed ? What kind of server , bitrate limiting may be an option if you can make that work ? If the server has the cpu to run lame .
The settings in flac is compression ratios and does not impare sq , but could make it harder for the player to decode -5 is ok i think for hirez content -8 for CD quality . i think you actually get rather big files if converting some analog sources to 24 bit SN for vinyl for example is not great the majority of the signal will be random noise and random noise does not compress well, the file will not be that much smaller . 24 bit gives you 144dB Some vintage sources can be noisy so most of the signal content is noise. even using a perfect source at least the 3 - 4 of the bottom bits will be noise there are not much practical circutry that has more SN than 20 bits aproximately . You can run some good resampling and make 16/44.1 files a good samplerate converter with dither ? I'm a bit clueless on audacitys samplerate converting. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
