EAC has a function for that but you could also use:

If you want to compare two files:
CODE
comp file1 file2
or
CODE
fc /b file1 file2
  from the dos-prompt.


Or calculate an md5 or sfv checksum.

Eventualy you could try "Total Commander"s Compare by content ....


P.S.: nice signature, that was a funny topic ...

fc under command.com/cmd
cmp under bash

edit: for any reason I originally wrote this post in french...

Hmm ... I have very slight size defferences (not every time) between orignal .wav and .wav coming from .flac ...

It's probably in the wav metadata, not the audio data. You need to describe the input file and the differences in more detail to know.

I've ran into the same problem here : http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....ST&f=11&t=9750&

SoundForge added some "metadata" (date of recording, name of the program...) at the end of the wav file, that caused
1) The SoundForge file to be bigger than the Flac decoded one
2) Mppenc 1.15r to bug trying to encode the SoundForge file

I've examined the two files with an hex editor, and checked that the amount of audio specified at the end of the wav header was the same in both files. SoundForge itself displayed the same amount of samples in both.
