in response to the original post, my understanding is that flac, at a -8 setting, (which is what i use), will turn a wav into about 60% of its orig filesize.
in EAC, in compression settings, there is a dropdown for bitrate. EAC uses that to calculate compression sizes that you see in the normal rip screen. i set mine at like 888kbps or something like that for flac, b/c it has no technical effect on flac, it just gives a more accurate approximation on the rip screen, (or so i am to understand). if your flac is actually able to turn a big wav into 1/5th its size, (look in windows explorer), thats news to me, but i'm sure Jim is correct in what he's saying. Jim, when i was looking for a command line for EAC for myself, as i mentioned here is what i found: -8 -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" %s however i found another line that some people were saying was "better" but didn't indicate why or what any of it meant: -8 -A tukey(0.25) -A gauss(0.1875) -b 4096 -V -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" %s --sector-align any idea what that is? is it better? -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & sbc (my home) / sbr (parent's home) - sbs 7.5b - win xp pro sp3 ie8 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 35k mp3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76217 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
