New feature : pass encoding options to underneath flac command

Question

Closed this issue 6 years ago · 3 comments

This would allow to recode a 96kHz flac file to 48kHz with the flac encode --sample-rate=# option.

Well, seems compromised :

ERROR: raw format options (--endian, --sign, --channels, --bps, and --sample-rate) are not allowed for non-raw input

Those options are to pass in raw (headerless) PCM data to FLAC, and it has no way otherwise to know any of the properties of the file.

You'll need to rely on external tools like sox or ffmpeg to resample your files.

Thanks a lot for your answer. I made this little reminder of the command to use in this case (including a practical case for an album) :

The command alone :
$ sox -S <original-flac-file> -r 48000 -b 16 <final-flac-file>
