Re[2]: Re: [EAC] Re: EAC to Output to Uncompressed FLAC

Hello,

in my opinion, it doesn't make any sense to have uncompressed Flac 
files. Every player who supports decoding Flac files should be able to 
decode it...

Anyway, yes, dbPoweramp supports uncompressed Flac files. Basically it 
is a Vorbis Container file with a WAV in it (so basically it is a .flac 
file, but not exactly a Flac compressed file).
As EAC uses the flac.exe encoder to encode Flac files, EAC is not able 
to write such files for itself. So basically if you want support for 
uncompressed Flac files, you need to ask the creators of Flac.exe 
whether they will support this or not. As soon as the command line tool 
Flac.exe support such files, EAC will do that...
I guess that they won't add support for it though (because it just make 
no sense)...

Regards, Andre
