Flac editor

Is this possible - is there a .Flac file editor?

Are you talking about editing the tags, or editing the waveform ?

the waveform!

You probably have more luck converting it to a WAV, editing that then creating a new FLAC.

oh why are things so complicated!?

there is no wave in a flac file, it's just a bunch of meaningless numbers......until you put it through the flac algorithm, then the numbers come back to the original wave file.....

just convert the flac to wav and then run audacity on it to edit it...then convert it back to flac......

edit: ooops Clive already said that

My advise is the same as wot has already been said.

That would have been my answer too

yeah but no but...

I've just discovered how to download .Flac files and after half the night to get that 24bit/96kHz or whatever it is audiophile recording, it won't play... at all or a bit is missing off the end. So I can't convert such to a WAV hence my question.

This is a pain in the butt with some flacs I have. The wav versions (with errors) still play but simply stop prematurely, the flacs just don't work when there's a problem. Although a wav is at least twice the size to download I'd be far more comfortable having a master copy as a wav and then generate the flac.

Ah. You didn't say it was a corrupted FLAC file.

I assumed it was a good one.

All I can suggest is download it again. Good luck.

Insufficient information strikes again!

All is now as clear as ~ a somewhat murky pond

to download once and find corruption is unfortunate, to download three times and find the same evil smacks of carelessness!

The file at source is knackered then. It really is like that (not nuffink that's happened to it during downloading)

Slapped legs for somebody!

Perhaps someone else can download the FLAC file and see what happens ?
