Why isn't the compression level added in a metadata block by the flac encoder itself (just like the encoder version)? In this way all programs that read the file can see what compression level was used.
thx 2007/7/4, Scot Thompson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
This has been asked many times. The answer is no. I suggest saving the compression level into a tag for future reference, but that won't help you with files you get from unknown locations. ------------------------------ *From:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *Harry Sack *Sent:* Wednesday, July 04, 2007 7:14 AM *To:* flac@xiph.org *Subject:* [Flac] FLAC: getting compression level using metaflac Hi FLAC list! I have a question (maybe a strange one) about getting the compression level (0-8) using metaflac. So I want to know for a given FLAC file what compression level was used to compress that file. I tried using the --list option but this doesn't give any information about this. Is there a way to get the compression level of a given FLAC file using metaflac or another tool? thx _______________________________________________ Flac mailing list Flac@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac
