thanks a lot, it works! I was also wondering if writing everything to a file can slow down the FLAC encoding or is it as fast as writing everything to a command window? I was wondering if you know where I can find more information about the '2>' operator for the windows command line? I don't find anything about it (I usually don't use the command line). Where did you find information about it? thx in advance! Josh
