A flac file is similar to an mp3, in that both are compressed forms of the original audio file. The main difference is that a flac file can be decompressed into a bit-for-bit identical copy of the original file, whereas a decompressed mp3 bears almost no resemblance to the original. You would probably sample your tapes into a wav file, edit it to your liking, then use flac for archival. > I do not require an archival quality process only one that allows me most > flexibility in cleaning up the static and hiss which accompanies the audio > tapes. wav (or similar) is probably your only real option for the intermediate storage. =2D-=20 Kirk Strauser In Googlis non est, ergo non est. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQA+Pphe5sRg+Y0CpvERAmpwAJ0YwKtR3iKbi88lr70ozvIPkPrUoACeMss9 Mzj0vmHIsINsEVqAqYR2qTg= =C2qi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
