Problem: Accidentially I encoded some FLAC files with 24 bps (misconfigured fb2k converter; forgot to tick lossless so 24 bps were used...).
Is there a lossless way to re-encode those files to "standard" 16 bps FLACs? I still have the CDs but I'd prefer to just re-encode to keep my tags...

[edit] fb2k [/edit], setting the BPS for the transcode to 16 bits per sample.
Sorry Sundance, mental linkage problem - thought converting, quoted program I use to rip...... I really meant fb2k as above, not EAC.

Nick,
tried your suggestion and it works: the resulting, converted 24-to-16-bps flac decodes to a bit-identical wav compared to the original. So, no rerip of the CDs is necessary.
Out of curiosity I tried to do that with the flac commandline tool, too. But my command line

CODE
flac.exe flac24bit.flac --bps=16 -o flac16bit.flac
resulted in a 24 bps file again. Anyone here who knows the correct command line options to do that job?.sundance.

There is none, FLAC does not support bit-depth conversion, the --bps option is for RAW data only.
