Harry,
I wrote a little command line utility for this in C# - the lib it uses is a
little overkill for the task but it does work. As Josh noted there is no
compression gain, so I wouldn't bother unless you have FLAC's encoded with
older versions. I also think Josh said there's a .BAT file out t
Perhaps a more important question is how much electricity is required to
decode FLAC, and how much heat is generated - for embedded CPUs of course.
FLAC might not become popular for portable players if it shortens their
battery life significantly.
While there is the problem that .flacs take u

yes, flac can take FLAC files as input, but there is no compression

Hi
i'm looking for a tool (it must run in win32) to re-encode existing FLAC
files to a newer version of FLAC.
I tried the FLAC frontend (included in the FLAC 1.2.0 installer) but this
tool doesn't allow this (it only allows encoding of WAV files to FLAC files,

Does anybody know where the official website of the FLAC frontend (for
windows) is?
I think this is it.

Furthermore, there's no upgrade risk, as the API is still compatible.
FLAC is backwards and forwards compatible.
Just to clarify this - I asked about compatibility for 1.1.4 files a few
months ago and below is the response I got. Perhaps this needs
clarification? The middle number has changed.

Harry,
Another thing to consider is the balance between CPU efficiency and
disk speed. On some of my systems, decoding a FLAC file to AIFF (or
WAV) uses 100% of the CPU. That's because the drive is faster than
the CPU, so the CPU is constantly working. Moving to a 4-processor
system, I
Pleas learn how to snip uneeded text from your posts.
Version 1.2.0 is a stable release, which had some earlier beta
revisions. I'd say it was quite well tested.
Furthermore, there's no upgrade risk, as the API is still compatible.
FLAC is backwards and forwards compatible.

Harry,
Keep in mind that the processor load will be different for every
processor model. PowerPC G4, G5, and then all the implementations of
x86. Processor load does not depend upon clock speed - all that
clock speed determines is how fast the operation can be done, and
