Josh, Those speed improvements are great. Quick test on an 365MB wav of Neil Young's eponymous 1st album on a PIII 650E (Coppermine) under FreeBSD 4.2: User Sys MB shorten23 0:46s 4.0 208.3 shorten31 1:24s 5.3 208.6 flac CVS 4:21s 7.5 199.2 It's getting near to be a useful replacement for shorten. Only 3x slower. Any idea why it uses so much more sys time? I would've thought they'd all be about the same. I can see why shn31 uses more than shn23, because it goes and appends that s...

Hi, How's the testing going? I compressed 194 individual .wav files (totaling 8.54GB) which contained tracks ripped from many varied albums. I unflacced them and compared their md5 signature with the same from the original .wav. They were all perfect. I didn't use the -V option just in case of any chance of mis-reporting. I hope to test it with the complete collection of ~41GB
