HI!! Is there something able to rebuild a FLAC file from scratch or simply compress ezisting metadata? I figured out that when I insert an exhaustive tag such as large cover picture then remove it, the FLAC file won't shrink! Replacing an attachment by a bigger one obviously biggers the file. Of course I need the tool to preserve all existing metadata.

as you're using foobar2000, highlight all fields in the properties dialog for the selected files. right click>copy. now click on the tools button>remove tags. finally right click and paste fields.
as always, test on a subset of copied files first. This post has been edited by marc2003: Apr 11 2012, 22:45 |
