...e I try to run an app, it throws an error "The program <appname> has encountered a serious error and needs to close...". After doing some Googling it seems Wine can only run apps that are installed to it's C:/ drive. This has created some problems for me as my Linux partition is substantialy smaller than my storage partition that I use for my windows apps. My question is, is it possible to either run apps off a different fat32 partition, or move the default C:/ folder to the fat32 partition. When I tried moving it manually it was impossible to create a link to it from the default insta...

Personally, I rarely pay close attention to the exact compression. I'm happy just that FLAC is smaller and lossless. But I am still curious about the various reasons why some files turn out bigger or smaller...

Nicholas is probably right about noise. Another factor would simply be the amplitude of the resulting file. A 275 MB 24-bit file which compresses to 110 MB is probably not very loud. I assume that the average level is somewhat low, with few if any peaks that reach 0 dBFS. FLAC is very good at compressing audio that is not loud. In fact, the quieter the recording, the smaller the
