Hi,
I'm testing xrecode3, pretty neat program, but I have a problem understanding the choices I have, when splitting and APE image into the songs.
First, I have to use Encode instead of Extract, right?
Then, when splitting APE file, APE does not have a "lossless" option, only to use levels of compression. The default is at High, but after the split there is a 10% loss in the song files together compared to the initial one. So, either this is not true lossless or I'm missing somenthing
Thanks in advance
Andy
Splitting lossles leads to differed file size (FLAC, APE)
Re: Splitting lossles leads to differed file size (FLAC, APE)
FLAC and APE are lossless codecs and no quality is lost and usually higher compression level produces smaller files.
And you, you're right to use Encode for lossless formats.

Re: Splitting lossles leads to differed file size (FLAC, APE)
So, for FLAC and APE higher compression means no sound quality loss? Then what is the downside there? More processor used at playback or encoding?
Sorry I have no knowledge of these codecs, but it's all quite counterintuitive...

Anyway, just bought it, will need this.

More CPU used during encoding.
