<div>Harry,</div>

<div>I wrote a little command line utility for this in C# - the lib it uses is a little overkill for the task but it does work. As Josh noted there is no compression gain, so I wouldn't bother unless you have FLAC's encoded with older versions. I also think Josh said there's a .BAT file out there that does the same thing.

<div>Here's the file: <a href="http://idsharp.com/download/reflac02.zip">http://idsharp.com/download/reflac02.zip</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>It creates backups and shows encoder/decoder windows by default, you can turn these off with -nb (no backups) and -nw (no windows). Have flac.exe in the same directory as the tool and run something like:</div>
<div>reflac -8 -r "c:\flac"</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Which will reflac all .flac files in c:\flac, revursively (-r), with compression level 8 (-8). The source is available if you're interested.</div>
