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

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?

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.

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 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The

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. thx 2007/7/4, Scot Thompson <scot.thompson@cox.net>: > > This has been asked many times. The answer is no.

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. 2007/7/23, Avuton Olrich <avuton@gmail.com>: > > On 7/23/07, Harry Sack <tranzedude@gmail.com> wrote: > > hi > > > > does somebody know software for editing FLAC files?

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

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

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. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/flac-dev/attachments/20150719/f37ce5e8/attachment.htm

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 the
