Sez it's BETA, use at your own risk.

The SD guys have a pretty consistant product out.  Then again, I wouldn't worry about flac'ing for masters unless I was concerned about running out of disk space on the road (festivals).

Methinks I'm gonna wait until this is an actual release...

i personally would rather invest in a larger HD or an external drive if space was going to be a concern.

doesn't seem to be any more convenient, especially for 16bit work and too many risks involved if the FLAC file should get corrupted etc.


does it state anywhere what version of FLAC was implemented?

I just got a note from Josh Coalson (author of FLAC) and he says he is working with SD to iron out their problems.  Seems they are having trouble re-writing WAV metadata.  "they're doing more than just encoding flac, they are also preserving/restoring wav metadata."  As they are working with Josh I cannot believe they would use 1.1.3 which is less efficient and slower than 1.1.4.  The software is free.  I just hope they are paying Josh a fat fee as a consultant.
