My file was ripped from an original commercial cd and I'm pretty sure the downloaded flac file was too. That is why I'm so surprised but the difference in size and compression. Is it possible to have this great of discrepancy if the same song was ripped from the same cd, even if the flac encoder and settings were different? -- nelce ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nelce's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=51069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91402 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
