Convert Flac to Wav - how to & HD space need?



Hi

Have all my CDs ripped to FLAC, and want to convert them to uncompressed WAV files.

I currently have 1100 CDs, using up 308 GBs(In FLAC).

Which software do you recommend to convert to WAV?

How much more space will I need on my HD?

Thanks

The thing about lossless compression is that is widely used for software. If you compress a software program and when it is decompressed if even one bit is off the program will probably not operate at all. So lossless has to be truly lossless. I can't understand how it could make any difference whether it is uncompressed or lossless. But then I can't understand how most audiophile tweeks can work.

Compressed VS Un compressed

Here's something he wrote me in an email - I'm sure he won't mind this re-print:

"When I first started doing this, I found that any compression (lossless or not) make some sonic difference. There is a sonic signature to everything from Apple Lossless to FLAC to Monkeys. So, I have generally kept away from them."

Question: So if one goes by that, should I be I concerned To go directly from FLAC compressed to a CD-r, or better First convert the FLAC to back to Lossless?

If he really found audible differences, well.. If it isn't a software problem then I'm afraid I have to call it placebo.

Have a listen yourself, can you hear any differences?

Osgorth - I'm with you,

But what we have here is a real credible sourse thats' been researching this for 2 yrs...

Are all bits created equal? logically yes - but based on other anomolies, and other crazy exceptions in this hooby i would have to believe that they might not be in this circumstance.

No: I have not got to the stage of personal testing.
