Using the FLAC frontend with flac v1.0.2, I tried to encode a recently recorded 24-bit mono wav to flac, but received the following error: options: -P 0 -b 4608 -m -l 12 -e -q 0 -r 0,6 -R 0 gpt2002-06-01mono.wav: ERROR: unsupported bits per sample 24 So, I tried to encode a stereo 24-bit wave file... same error. I'm using the .exe of flac v1.0.2 under Windows 2000. The wave files can be downloaded from: mikewren.com/audiotests/gpt2002-06-01mono.wav mikewren.com/audiotests/gpt2002-06-01stereo.wav Can anyone else reproduce this error? What's the resolution? MW

What's the resolution?This error means just what it says...flac 1.0.2 doesn't support 24-bit samples. The code in CVS appears to, though, so you may want to try that. -- - mdz
According to flac.sourceforge.net/format.html#metadata_block_streaminfo : "FLAC supports from 4 to 32 bits per sample. Currently the reference encoder and decoders only support up to 24 bits per sample. " This is why I'm confused. I though one of the benefits of FLAC was it's ability to encode in word lengths longer than 16 bits.
