Public bug reported: Binary package hint: sound-juicer
Sound juicer and Rhytmbox can extract CDs to FLAC. Toying with a file, I found these outputs: Original as ripped by Rhythmbox: -rw------- 1 bluefox bluefox 14145212 2008-09-17 02:45 01 - Track 1.flac re-encoded with `flac --best`: -rw------- 1 bluefox bluefox 6947973 2008-09-17 02:45 01 - Track 1.best.flac Notice that the re-encode used half the space. As this is lossless, this should be default. Configuring this is not practical, as it uses a confusing, manually-built pipeline string: audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! flacenc name=enc I'm not sure what to add to tell gstreamer to use libflac's best compression level, nor will any normal user. ** Affects: sound-juicer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Rhythmbox and Sound Juicer use low FLAC compression https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/271222 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
