Re: Converting multi-channel flac files
I'm not at home with these files, and don't remember noticing "Channels, but they were 44.1 and 24 otherwise.
Odd, just didn't look for channels there. Will check this evening.
When converted to Mp3/320, the file size was on the order of 150 mb per track.

Re: Converting multi-channel flac files
Sorry, they were flacs. I'm on Windows. The download site required me to update my java version, as they force a download manager that requires local java (wasn't too happy about that).
I went back to the site, thinking I maybe missed a multi-channel reference, only to find that the flac option has disappeared altogether. Contacted customer support, where the agent was similarly bemused at the disappearance of the flac option for this album. Suggests that there was something wrong with the files. She gave me contact details for the download manager, but I haven't received a response yet.
The site is at http://medeskimartinandwood.shop.mus...=124&pc=MWDD15, but as noted the flac option no longer appears.

Converting multi-channel flac files
I have a new recording from Medeski, Schofield, Martin and Woods, downloaded from their website. They don't appear to claim these files are multi-channel, but the individual file are huge (upwards of 230 mb each), and apparently only in 44.1. Presumably 24 bit. Mp3 tag reports that the bitrate for the files is upwards of 5000 kbps!
It has been suggested that the these might be multi-channel flac.
I converted one of the tracks to 320 kbps using dBp, and got a reduction in filesize, from 230 to around half that. I hadn't thought that if they were multi-track that dBp would retain all the track info during a conversion, but may be wrong. How does that work?
Any idea about what is going on with these tracks?
