Is there any advantage in doing that? I gather flac calls on few processing resources when going the other way, which might avoid playback issues on storage units with little processing power; but perhaps level 5 is OK for this. EAC shows that the 8:21 second 1st track "Trio for violin, cello and piano" by Chopin and performed by Ax, Frank and Yo-Yo Ma is 84.24MB. After ripping to flac using level 0 Windows explorer says the file is 37.127MB or 44 percent of the original size. I shoved in another CD; EAC shows the first track to be 32.88MB. The ripped version in flac is 14.758 as shown in XP Explorer, or 44.9 percent of the original size. In each case I am getting the CD file size from EAC and the ripped flac size from XP Explorer, although I also have Media Centre and it shows the same flac file size. This seems like more compression than I have been lead to believe ... especially since I used the leased flac compression option. Are these file sizes reasonable given that flac level 0 was used and they are meant to be lossless? -- Mark Scanlan MarkS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Scanlan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76217 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
