File size is not important for me. I need audio data from wav file and metadata in one file. How to encode a wav file to an uncompressed flac file? Regards, Maciej - Original Message - From: "Erik de Castro Lopo" To: Sent: Monday, December 02, 2013 8:28 AM Subject: [SPAM] Re: [flac-de

Compressing any kind of data losslessly does not reduce its quality. This includes FLAC, zip files, or anything else. If you're really adamant about raw WAV files and metadata, foobar2000 has support for writing RIFF tags to a WAV file, allowing some tagging capability. On 12/2/2013 at 1:42 AM,

There is no quality difference between FLAC variations - compressed or uncompressed (unless you force a 24-bit audio file into a 16-bit FLAC, but that may not even be possible). The only thing that varies with FLAC is the size of the file. There are many ways to store the same data, some mo
