&gt;&gt; You will need to contact the makers of Windows Foobar and Free Enc=

&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; If you were to instead install the official flac command-line tool=
, then you would be able to guarantee that quality will be preserved when c=

d to ensure that the output WAV audio matches the original audio (whether t=
