Split a FLAC file without re-encoding?
I have a FLAC music album.
The final track has a hidden song at the end, meaning the track has a few minutes of silence in the middle. I have selected the parts I don't want in Audacity and deleted it from the timeline. I've then gone to Edit > Preference > Quality > High-quality conversion and set Dither to None, as I've heard this is the best thing to do in my scenario. I've gone to File > Export > Export Audio and selected FLAC as Type but there are two options:
I'm happy to use alternate software. |

1) Level: always is lossless. Fast implies big output size, slow (best) -> less output size. Like with modern computers the time difference is inappreciable use best.
2) Bit depth: use the same as the source. If source is 16 bit you waste space with 24 bit, if source is 24 bit you losse quality with 16 bit. If source is from a CD audio is only 16 bit. You can use MediaInfo or other tool to know the bit depth of the source. You can use use Audacity to edit the source, if you only do cuts the best option to avoid any conversion is, before load the flac, do: Edit > Preferences > Quality > Default Sample Format: 16 or 24 like source The other Quality settings are not used if you only cut.

I'm pretty sure that I borrowed [EDIT: what purported to be] a 24 bit CD from local libary maybe about 15 years ago, I dont remember what the album was [maybe something like Mike Oldfield Tubular Bells].
EDIT: Maybe it required a special 24 bit player for 24 bit capability, dont remember, or maybe just advertising hype. EDIT: Seem to have some 24 bit HDCD hits here [played ok in standard CD player]:- https://www.google.com/search?ei=Y9w...4dUDCAo&uact=5 EDIT: HDCD on Wikipedia[High Definition Compatible Digital, D9 gets a mention]:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_D...atible_Digital Quote:
