Please see post above. I'm not talking about "common bad sound quality". I'm talking about a very specific situation: Low quality mp3 is re-encoded into flac. I download the flac with no knowledge about the source file. Is it possible to analyse the flac using a tool and tools available as open source software, and determine with a high level of confidence that the flac is a rerencoding of an mp3 file? The software spek was mentioned, wich is a spectral analysis and visualization software. I will try it by recreating the situtation I just described using my own recordings. I will report results. Unless this has already been done by someone, in which case I'm curious to know what was discovered. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
