So some research and experimentation I think I found the problem, but I'm not sure how to go about fixing it.<br><br>If
I import one of the wav files into Audacity then export them as "16 bit
PCM" then they encode to flac and play fine. The files bitrates are currently
at 24. If I export them from audacity as a 24 or 32 (anything higher
than 16), flac fails on me. With a bitrate of 24, the file is encoded
but won't play. With a bitrate of 32, flac says it can't do it.<br><br>Questions in no particular order:<br>1) I assume converting from 24 bits to 16 bits results in a loss of information, right?<br>2) Is there a faster way to convert rather than going in and out of audacity.<br>
3) Is there a way to make 24 bit files work with flac?<br><br>Thank you again,<br>Matthew<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Feb 6, 2008 1:48 PM, Erik de Castro Lopo <<a href="mailto:erikd-flac@mega-nerd.com">erikd-flac@mega-nerd.com</a>> wrote:<br>

<br>Does the flac encoder you're using do small files correctly? It may<br>be a miscompiled FLAC encoder.<br><br>Erik<br>--<br>-----------------------------------------------------------------<br><font color="#888888">Erik de Castro Lopo<br>
