I have some audio FLAC CDs in single track format with a CUE file. I read the best way to split up the tracks is with CUETools, but I don't know which audio output (encoder?) to use. There are four options:

libFlake, libFLAC, flake & FLACCL

Can anyone explain what the difference(s) are please?

Thanks!

once again, lossless is lossless. Before getting too excited do one track. Size reduction might not be worth it to you. Many consider level 4 or 5 to be a good mix of size vs the length of time it takes to encode. Time required to compress greater than this can be long. YMMV
