The problem here is that zip, rar and 7z can compress all kinds of files. FLAC can only handle audio files. Also, they pack all those files into a single...

I just found out about a way to do this in Windows (didn't know, don't use the Windows shell very often) ``` for /r %i in (*.flac) do flac.exe -st...

Metadata parsing became more strict in FLAC 1.4.0. I would expect these files have corrupt metadata in some way. Would it be possible to re-encode these files with FLAC 1.3.4...

That is unexpected. Would you be able to send only the first 10 kB of the file? That should be enough to analyse this and I don't think such a...

Okay, I've found the issue. It wasn't at the start of the file as I suspected, but at the very end. These files have an ID3v1 tag at the end...

You can keep it open. Thing that need to be done - [ ] `flac` needs to detect when it has not reached end-of-file despite encoding the target number of...

Somebody already created [a somewhat brute-force variable blocksize encoder by modifying libFLAC](https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,123248.0.html). I tested this and [these were my results](https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,123248.msg1022125.html#msg1022125). As you can see, gains are not tremendous, we're talking...

> I might as well have misunderstood something with how data is encoded in FLAC files: you're saying there is a 0.5% gain possible while being optimistic. Is using variable...

Is it possible for you to supply such a file, or point to radio station that streams such files?
