[Flac] FLAC: getting compression level using metaflac

The compression level is really only just a convenient shortcut for humans to use when creating a flac file. The real values used during compression include Max LPC order, blocksize, Rice partition order (min,)max, exhaustive model search flag, and mid-side or Adaptive mid- side coding flags. As you can see, there are a lot of parameters and options, to the compression level just represents common combinations. You can't store the level in the metadata because you can create a tuned flac file without any compression level at all. Another thing to consider is that compression level 8 is not always the best for every file.

Oh my God, oh my God!

ASTONISHING, GLORIOUS, INCREDIBLE sound. Very good interpretation and music.

Two years older than Byron Janis and in SACD but the sound is better!!! You have to listen to it to believe it.

I LOVE my tweaked/modded KEF Q100 5.25" coaxial speakers. If they had a higher sensitivity (only have true 85 dB/W/m), they would be the repanocha.

Before summer this recording did not sound so good on my second audio system.

A BIG TREASURE.

REPEAT the 22 minutes.

Btw, foobar2000 can not generate the foo_dr.txt, only show the DR13 (one big file recording).

Have You Ever Seen the Rain?

[Verse 1]
Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know, it's been comin' for some time
When it's over, so they say
It'll rain a sunny day
I know, shinin' down like water

[Chorus]
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
Comin' down on a sunny day

[Verse 2]
Yesterday, and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard
I know, been that way for all my time
'Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow
I know, it can't stop, I wonder

[Chorus]
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
Comin' down on a sunny day

Yeah!

[Chorus]
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
Comin' down on a sunny day

Soundhappy, did you attend any of these 2013 Radio France concerts?


I was not aware about this one show on the video but have good time on the others concerts.
It's the biggest evenement festival in my town and all around.
From antique and classic to hi-tech contemporary from exotic to local music folk.
Sometimes me regrets beacause can't be in two places at the same time it's ~ 12 big concerts each day in Summer:D
