Thanks Jud, I was able to re-encode my entire FLAC archive into 1.1.4,
although on my slow computer (with all other apps closed) it took over 3
days to complete! Only one song returned an error and that was quite easy
to fix.
I did run into one issue though. I have a FLAC album in which the songs are
all 24/96 and REFLAC fails when it runs.
I want to re-encode them from compression level 5 down to level 1 since my
streaming setup chokes a bit on the level 5 compression and others have had
no issues with level 1.
Here is the error text that I see when I attempt to run it:
F:\FLAC\ReFLAC>reflac -r -1

I would really like to re-encode these into the lower compression, any help
would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim
