FLAC Benchmark-H

Here's a tool for testing different "flac.exe" binaries with different ".flac" and ".wav" files.



Unpack.
Use drag-and-drop to add any FLAC.exe files you want (for multithreading use latest 1.4.3 builds).
Use drag-and-drop to add any *.flac and *.wav files.
Use Encode or Decode buttons to measure resulting speed and file size with different encoder's settings.
One hit to Encode or Decode button will process all the files that are checked in the lists.
You may use a Job List in order to test many presets between different binaries and audio files.

Temporary encoded and decoded files are stored in "tepm" folder in app's directory by default but may be changed.
Log entries may be sorted by clicking column headers.
Analyze log by pressing the button to find the smallest resulting file size.
If you analyze a huge number of files the app may hang for a while.

It is under construction, so any help is welcome.

Hello. Here's an update.

Now if you crunch a huge amount of files there is significant speed increase for operations with Audio Files list and Log.
And also in this case you may want to set a Priority to Idle (if you need to test only resulting sizes).

Now you may load all your FLAC/WAV library and find duplicates in audio files. Comparison is made for MD5 of unencoded audio content, so you may find dupes not only between differently tagged FLACs, but between WAVs and FLACs also.
If dupes are found, they will be moved to top of list and unchecked.

All operations take a long for files from HDD. Consider moving to SSD. Also consider to set app's "Temp Folder" on RAM drive.

The development goes on...

Hotfix.
Now MD5 reads correctly.

A big update is here [beta 0.9 build 20250126.1].

I don't post every build here, just not to spam the thread/forum.
As usually you may search for latest builds here.

Features added:
 - Export log to Excel (Analyze the log by pressing the button then use "Log to Excel" for further analysis.)
 - Remove all metadata and padding
 - Add MD5 for .WAV files on load
 - "Pause" button
 - Progress bars
 - Tooltips

Fixed bugs:
 - Creating temp folder
 - "Stop" button messages and behavior
 - Progress bars view
 - "Settings file" warnings
