Hello has all
I am French my English is a little rusty
I am going to explain you my problem, as you I am a faithful user of foobar 1.1.10
I listen a lot of classical music
Mainly in the .flac format
I have to notice that the bitrate of foobar is 667 kbps for dvorak synphonie numero 1
The mediainfo software indicates me kbps 667 kbps
Dbpoweramp indicates me kbps 1411
I obtain these results of a classic release of quality but I ask the question what bitrate is exact?
You will can can be to answer my question
"Dbpoweramp indicates me kbps 1411 "
This is the bitrate of the decoded flac file, ie., the native bitrate of the wavefile.
The bitrate foobar is indicating is the bitrate of the compressed flac file.
Lossless audio compression does just that: compresses. Therefore a decreased bitrate in a lossless format such as FLAC is not only expected but essential.
1411 kbps is the bitrate of the uncompressed audio. The FLAC will be decompressed to exactly the same bitrate and exactly the same audio (by definition of the word lossless).
filesize / duration = bitrate
Thank you for your answers
All right to summarize
Say I if I make a mistake
Foobar indicates me 667 kbps because it is to compress it .flac
Once to unwind will be 1411 well kbps Quality audio CD of the business
Thus a release 1:1 maximum Quality for a release of an audio cd
If I burn it on a cd the bitrate will be good of 1411 kbps ?
Foobar indicates me 667 kbps because it is to compress it .flac
Yes: the entire purpose of lossless audio compression is to reduce the file size/bitrate needed to store the input signal, whilst preserving it exactly.
Once to unwind will be 1411 well kbps Quality audio CD of the business…If I burn it on a cd the bitrate will be good of 1411 kbps ?
Yes again.
