Ether, As Erik said, 44.1/16 is standard for CDs. When encoding in Flac, a compression setting of 8 just means that the encoder tries "harder" to compress the file. In my experience the higher compression level gets you very little in terms of file size and it takes longer to encode. Disk space is cheap these days so I just leave mine at the default of 5. I'm not familiar with the %bitrate% parameter as it relates to Flac but the normal bitrate for a Redbook CD is 1411 kbps so I wouldn't think you would want 192. Dick
All my FLAC files are 44.1/16
I read about the settings and kept paying with the comments line, trying to change the compression to 8 or add %bitrate% = 192 but all my CDs are being encoded with the same parameters of 44.1KHz/16bit...or at least that's what I see displayed next to the file name when looking at the file properties.
Is that normal ? Can I somehow "upsample" in FLAC ?
