[Flac] FLAC: editing software

[Brian Willoughby]

Harry,

Any time you are looking at a waveform in an editor - e.g. to see the  
silent parts so you can cut them out - you are looking at  
uncompressed data.  A FLAC editor would need to uncompress the data,  
allow you to edit it, and then recompress the data.  So you probably  
won't see too many people support direct FLAC editing, although they  
might support FLAC import and FLAC export.

Ableton Live allows you to work with FLAC files.  However, they are  
automatically converted to uncompressed files on disk.  This is just  
a convenience, so you don't have to do it manually.  I don't think  
you can save to FLAC, but I haven't really looked.

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.

Uncompress the file, run wavbreaker on it, use wavmerge as necessary,
recompress.
