FLAC is lossless. That's what the L stands for. Whatever encoding options you use, you'll get the same quality. On Wed, 2007-07-11 at 19:46 -0400, Rick wrote: > what would be the best string setting for ripping in flac? > only looking for highest audiophile quality possible. > > Thanks - > Richar

Maybe a little bit. Tag contents, for example, aren't compressed (and rightly so). But it's not going to make any serious impact on the audio data, in fact it's quite likely to end up bigger. (See the Pigeonhole Principle! [1]) [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigeonhole_principle On Wed, 2007-

[Flac] FLAC: compressing more with traditional compression algorithm
