hi, I plan to encode 8 bit flac files.
I know they can be easily played on the computer (with winamp
and the flac plugin), but what about portable flac players ?
thanks

it depends on the player. as far as I know they all use libFLAC which can read and decode 8 bit, but the player then has to adapt the 8 bit samples to its output path and not all of them bother to do this.
