FLAC FRONTEND Encoding

Hi,

I've been reading a few reports and noticed  what I think to be different versions of FLAC.

I downloaded FLAC FRONTEND and just drag and drop the WAV files and then press encode.I leave the level on 5 and tick verify and add tags.

This seems easy enough.Am I doing everything right.?

Should I encode at level 5 Or up it to level 8.Does it make any difference to the file.?

One other question that may seem silly to other users., but what is FOOBAR?I can't see this in the FLAC folder and everthing seems to work OK.

Cheers,

Ian

Yes your doing everything right!
Using FLAC setting 5 is a good compromise between filesize and compression time.
Setting it to 8 would shave of some 100KB, but would take a longer time to encode.

The foobar everyone is talking about is foobar2000. The best audio player out there, at least thats my opinion!
