Show as possible under the new 1.93 version.  Anybody know how?

It isn't the same procedure as a wav?  I'll have to mess around with that.

I don't really see the big deal ???  When would you use this?  Only thing I can think of would be if you wanted to retrack a show.

saves about 50% disk space tho ;)

i would prolly use it, just go firewire from jb3>pc>samplitude>FLAC>cdwave, instead of cd wave>FLAC, the whole file will get processed at once, i dunno if i'll use it tho, im used to the other way ;)

one other thing, i bet cdwave loads faster w/ a file thats only 50% as big, i think im gonna d/l it now actually

i just upgraded earlier today from an old version of cdwav and i like the new features and being able to split flacs is nice as well

i use EAC whenever i need to save an aging audio cd or studio cd that needs backing up. i actually did one last week from a cd that was on its last legs and got 21 out of 22 tracks, i was surprised to say the least, many of them skipped and EAC corrected and made them better again.  a big +T to exact audio copy software

I do conversions for a buddy of mine.  I transfer, edit and flac it for him.  No tracking.  I could see it being of benefit to him since he would not have to convert back to WAV.

Yeah,
I find the feature is pretty cool.  Kevin does my MD conversions for me ;)

And being the skeptic I am, I did a test to make sure that the tracked .flac files it spits out are exactly the same as the split .wav files converted to .flac and they were indeed 100% exact same.

Although the MD conversions may be a thing of the past soon for me since I am going to be upgrading to using the JB3, but I'll probably have one last batch for you to do for me Kevin ;p

so does it actually split the flacs or does it make them waves THEN split the wavs, then convert back to flac
