[Flac] RE: Converting to 1.1.4, help please!

[Tim]

Hey Jud, Thanks!
I copied two of my FLAC folders (CDs) into a temp dir just to test it out
and see if I could get it to run.
I put the four unzipped files into the dir folder and opened a cmd window
using the same options you suggested:
"reflac -r -8 -nw -nb"

It looks as though it first converts the files to WAV then re-encode them
into FLAC 1.1.4 then deletes the WAV, correct?

I was worried that the tags might vanish, but when I opened the files in
both MP3Tag and Rio Manager all of the tags were there and correct.

I understand the -8 -nb and -nw, but what exactly is -r "recursive"?

Thanks again!

Now the only question is how many days it will take to re-encode over 1200
CDs on a circa 2000 P4 (socket 723 I think) with 256MB RAM?
