FLAC -> Apple Lossless (24 bit jumps to 32 bit)
I am converting some hirez FLAC files to Apple Lossless for my iPod and am noticing that when I convert the files, they are going from 24 bit to 32 bit. Should that jump in bits per sample occur when converting? Thanks.

Also... I know this is not the right forum, but did Apple ever build a checksum function into their lossless files? -

I converted the Apple Lossless files back to FLAC and the 32-bit sampling when back to 24-bit. Sorry I am not a sound engineer. I am thinking nothing is being lost or added during conversion.Comment

How are you knowing they are 32bit? if you right click on a file >> properties and 'Audio Properties' what does it say?Comment

The file properties using dBpoweramp's popups say the converted files are 34. It's actually VLC that reports 32 bit.
But a related issue also bothers me. I took a hirez FLAC and converted it to a WAV. then I took the FLAC and used dBpoweramo to convert it to a Lossless Apple file. then I took that Apple file and converted it to a WAV to compare it to the original FLAC->WAV file. There was a 4 byte difference. what would account for that variance?
Thanks.Comment

VLC is wrong, dBpoweramp is right...
4 bytes could be ID Tags or different header used, the audio will be the same (see codec central >> utility codec >> Calculate Audio CRC) and compare audio CRCsComment
