Ok let's calm down. I asked about higher compression modes avaliable on flake because I wished to know is there any plan to support these modes someday or not. I wish to use refference implementation because I wish that my flac collection is usable after 20 years or more. Compression modes don't give any big compression difference but my collection is ~20 gb at the moment or 90 albums. It gives 200 mb difference on me. I chooes flac because it is most popular codec MAC is not supported on linux, ALAC is not finished, optimFROG is not open. _______________________________________________ flac-dev mailing list flac-dev@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev
