So at a later date if you encounter a problem you can Undo all changes to a folder or subfolder. Instead we took another approach, as well as changing the files themselves SongKong stores the changes in its database. Also if reviews came up throughout the duration of process this would pause workflow and be very annoying, if it was kept until the end then there would be a long delay after confirm changes whilst all the files were saved. But the reason the workflow is not preview/review changes/confirm like Jaikoz is because it was envisaged that SongKong would be run on whole collections, therefore there would be too many changes for users to review properly. Hi Mike, you can run SongKong in preview and then run again in non preview. One would have to actually play each file to determine if corrupted.Īnyhow, people should use what they want, but I always try to point out the CRC issue as too much of FLAC discussion revolves around space saving. WAV (or ALAC) does NOT have this capability. This is particularly useful after creating a new backup drive. I can run a test conversion on all 100,000 of my files in a few hours to confirm no corruption. This allows one to run a batch test conversion on all of ones files and get feedback as to whether any of the files report as corrupted (calculated CRC doesn’t match the CRC created at time of ripping). Speaking of CRCs, in my opinion the FLAC format most important benefit is the fact that the file has an embedded CRC hash along with the tags. This allows one to have uncompressed files but the advantage of FLAC tagging and embedded CRCs. These files are just WAV files in a FLAC container. Decoding is essentially the same no matter what, and as noted is trivial with any cpu newer than 15 years old.ĭbPoweramp added an uncompressed FLAC version a few years ago in order to cater to the truly paranoid about lossless compression. Agree.And actually it is the original encoding of the FLAC file that takes the work, more with higher compression (8).
