I believe you can do this with Ogg FLAC. The Ogg container manages
the multiple FLAC streams. Theoretically, we'll never see limit

The maximum number of samples in a FLAC stream is 64 GigaSamples. It
would be impossible to convert such files with any other format
besides CAF. In other words, FLAC supports longer audio recordings
than every existing file format except

Re: FLAC: re-encode
Hmm, what if the FLAC options produce a larger file on output than
input? Would -f (force) cause the whole process to fail as soon as
the output exceeded the input?

music complexity
hi,
Is it true the flac encoder can compress music better when the
complexity of the music is low?
I'm compressing some tunes of old MS DOS games (pc speaker, sound
blaster 16 OPL3 chip music) and I saw a *huge* compression ratio (some
files where only 1/3th of the original file in filesize after
compressing to flac), so I was wondering if less complex music always
means better compression.

FLAC: minimum system requirements
Hi,
I was wondering if the minimum system requirements are determined for the
FLAC decoder?
I ask this because I have some old computers and also a "older" Pocket PC,
so I was wondering how many MB RAM and Mhz CPU speed is needed to be able to
decode FLAC files without any problems.
thx

FLAC: getting compression level using metaflac
Why isn't the compression level added in a metadata block by the flac
encoder itself (just like the encoder version)? In this way all programs
that read the file can see what compression level was used.

FLAC: editing software
yes I know I can do that, but my question is if there is software to edit
FLAC files without having to uncompress to WAV/recompress to FLAC.

Support for CAF in flac command-line?
Hello all,
Is anyone here potentially up to the task of adding support for CAF
(the CoreAudio Format) into the flac command-line? This would
present minimal difficulty under OSX, due to the presence of the
CoreAudio API, but the real challenge would be to support CAF on Unix
and Windows - everywhere that flac is now available.
Although the format is rather unknown, there are some very

FLAC: decoding to WAV in the future
What Brian Willoughby means is that even though the future is
uncertain, you may trust FLAC. The format is mature enough so that
you won't see major changes preventing playback of files encoded by
older encoders, but even if that comes to happen, the playback
libraries on most software will be backwards-compatible, and FLAC is
lossless meaning that you may convert FLAC 1.1.4 to a possible

Re: FLAC: re-encode
Hi,
I meant that it seems problematic to write an updated file to itself,
because the operation could erase the data before it is read. Unless
you read the entire file first, or write to a temporary file which is
then renamed. I deal with FLAC files that are over a gigabyte,
meaning that this could easily exceed normal buffers.
Just curious. I guess I could go test it myself... or

Do you have a source on the CoreAudio quality thing? I'd be very interested
in reading more about that.

Support for CAF in flac command-line?
Thanks for the interest, Michael.
I don't use Ogg, so I'm a little wary that standard FLAC would be
left out of any Ogg Frog implementation. But I say that mostly out
of ignorance. I have noticed that there seem to be two worlds for
FLAC, inside Ogg and outside. It's important to be aware of the fact
that many hardware devices support the FLAC format directly, without

Hi,
But how can this be possibly lossless? You change the volume of the audio
tracks, so isn't this lossy or does the actual volume
