The encoder currently supports as input RIFF WAVE, Wave64, RF64, AIFF, FLAC or Ogg FLAC format, or raw interleaved samples. The decoder currently can output to RIFF WAVE, Wave64, RF64, or AIFF format, or raw interleaved samples. <span class="commandname">flac</span> only supports linear PCM samples (in other words, no A-LAW, uLAW, etc.), and the input must be between 4 and 24 bits per sample. This is not a limitation of the FLAC format, just the reference encoder/decoder.<br /> 60 <br /> 61 <span class="commandname">flac</span> assumes that files ending in ".wav" or that have the RIFF WAVE header present are WAVE files, files ending in ".w64" or have the Wave64 header present are Wave64 files, files ending in ".rf64" or have the RF64 header present are RF64 files, files ending in ".aif" or ".aiff" or have the AIFF header present are AIFF files, and files ending in ".flac" or have the FLAC header present are FLAC files. This assumption may be overridden with a command-line option. It also assumes that files ending in ".oga" or ".ogg" or have the Ogg FLAC header present are Ogg FLAC files. Other than this, <span class="commandname">flac</span> makes no assumptions about file extensions, though the convention is that FLAC files have the extension ".flac" (or ".fla" on ancient "8.3" file systems like FAT-16).<br /> 62 <br /> 63 Before going into the full command-line description, a few other things help to sort it out: 1) <span class="commandname">flac</span> encodes by default, so you must use <b>-d</b> to decode; 2) the options <span class="argument">-0</span> .. <span class="argument">-8</span> (or <span class="argument">--fast</span> and <span class="argument">--best</span>) that control the compression level actually are just synonyms for different groups of specific encoding options (described later) and you can get the same effect by using the same options; 3) <span class="commandname">flac</span> behaves similarly to gzip in the way it handles input and output files.<br /> 64 <br /> 65 Skip to the <a href="#tutorial">tutorial</a> below for examples of some common tasks.<br /> 66 <br /> 67 <span class="commandname">flac</span> will be invoked one of four ways, depending on whether you are encoding, decoding, testing, or analyzing: 68 <ul> 69 <li> 70 Encoding: flac [<i><a href="#general_options"><general-options></a></i>] [<i><a href="#format_options"><format-options></a></i>] [<i><a href="#encoding_options"><encoding options></a></i>] [inputfile [...]] 71 </li> 72 <li> 73 Decoding: flac -d [<i><a href="#general_options"><general-options></a></i>] [<i><a href="#format_options"><format-options></a></i>] [<i><a href="#decoding_options"><decoding options></a></i>] [FLACfile [...]] 74 </li> 75 <li> 76 Testing: flac -t [<i><a href="#general_options"><general-options></a></i>] [FLACfile [...]] 77 </li> 78 <li> 79 Analyzing: flac -a [<i><a href="#general_options"><general-options></a></i>] [<i><a href="#analysis_options"><analysis-options></a></i>] [FLACfile [...]] 80 </li> 81 </ul> 82 In any case, if no <span class="argument">inputfile</span> is specified, stdin is assumed. If only one inputfile is specified, it may be "-" for stdin. When stdin is used as input, <span class="commandname">flac</span> will write to stdout. Otherwise <span class="commandname">flac</span> will perform the desired operation on each input file to similarly named output files (meaning for encoding, the extension will be replaced with ".flac", or appended with ".flac" if the input file has no extension, and for decoding, the extension will be ".wav" for WAVE output and ".raw" for raw output). The original file is not deleted unless --delete-input-file is specified.<br /> 83 <br /> 84 If you are encoding/decoding from stdin to a file, you should use the -o option like so: 85 <ul> 86 <li> 87 flac [options] -o outputfile 88 </li> 89 <li> 90 flac -d [options] -o outputfile 91 </li> 92 </ul> 93 which are better than: 94 <ul> 95 <li> 96 flac [options] > outputfile 97 </li> 98 <li> 99 flac -d [options] > outputfile 100 </li> 101 </ul> 102 since the former allows flac to seek backwards to write the <span class="code">STREAMINFO</span> or RIFF WAVE header contents when necessary.<br /> 103 <br /> 104 Also, you can force output data to go to stdout using <span class="argument">-c</span>.<br /> 105 <br /> 106 To encode or decode files that start with a dash, use <span class="argument">--</span> to signal the end of options, to keep the filenames themselves from being treated as options: 107 <ul> 108 <li> 109 <span class="code">flac -V -- -01-filename.wav</span> 110 </li> 111 </ul> 112 The encoding options affect the compression ratio and encoding speed. The format options are used to tell <span class="commandname">flac</span> the arrangement of samples if the input file (or output file when decoding) is a raw file. If it is a RIFF WAVE, Wave64, RF64, or AIFF file the format options are not needed since they are read from the file's header.<br /> 113 <br /> 114 In test mode, <span class="commandname">flac</span> acts just like in decode mode, except no output file is written. Both decode and test modes detect errors in the stream, but they also detect when the MD5 signature of the decoded audio does not match the stored MD5 signature, even when the bitstream is valid.<br /> 115 <br /> 116 <span class="commandname">flac</span> can also re-encode FLAC files. In other words, you can specify a FLAC or Ogg FLAC file as an input to the encoder and it will decoder it and re-encode it according to the options you specify. It will also preserve all the metadata unless you override it with other options (e.g. specifying new tags, seekpoints, cuesheet, padding, etc.).<br /> 117 <br /> 118 <span class="commandname">flac</span> has been tuned so that the default settings yield a good speed vs. compression tradeoff for many kinds of input. However, if you are looking to maximize the compression rate or speed, or want to use the full power of FLAC's metadata system, see <a href="documentation_format_overview.html">About the FLAC Format</a>.<br /> 119 <br /> 120 121 <a name="tutorial"><font size="+1"><b><u>Tutorial</u></b></font></a><br /> 122 <br /> 123 Some common <b>encoding</b> tasks using <span class="commandname">flac</span>:<br /> 124 <br /> 125 <tt><b>flac abc.wav</b></tt><br /> 126 Encode <tt>abc.wav</tt> to <tt>abc.flac</tt> using the default compression setting. <tt>abc.wav</tt> is not deleted.<br /> 127 <br /> 128 <tt><b>flac <a href="#flac_options_delete_input_file">--delete-input-file</a> abc.wav</b></tt><br /> 129 Like above, except <tt>abc.wav</tt> is deleted if there were no errors.<br /> 130 <br /> 131 <tt><b>flac <a href="#flac_options_delete_input_file">--delete-input-file</a> <a href="#flac_options_warnings_as_errors">-w</a> abc.wav</b></tt><br /> 132 Like above, except <tt>abc.wav</tt> is deleted if there were no errors or warnings.<br /> 133 <br /> 134 <tt><b>flac <a href="#flac_options_best">--best</a> abc.wav</b></tt><br /> 135 Encode <tt>abc.wav</tt> to <tt>abc.flac</tt> using the highest compression setting.<br /> 136 <br /> 137 <tt><b>flac <a href="#flac_options_verify">--verify</a> abc.wav</b></tt><br /> 138 Encode <tt>abc.wav</tt> to <tt>abc.flac</tt> and internally decode <tt>abc.flac</tt> to make sure it matches <tt>abc.wav</tt>.<br /> 139 <br /> 140 <tt><b>flac <a href="#flac_options_output_name">-o</a> my.flac abc.wav</b></tt><br /> 141 Encode <tt>abc.wav</tt> to <tt>my.flac</tt>.<br /> 142 <br /> 143 <tt><b>flac <a href="#flac_options_tag">-T</a> "TITLE=Bohemian Rhapsody" -T "ARTIST=Queen" abc.wav</b></tt><br /> 144 Encode <tt>abc.wav</tt> and add some tags at the same time to <tt>abc.flac</tt>.<br /> 145 <br /> 146 <tt><b>flac *.wav</b></tt><br /> 147 Encode all .wav files in the current directory.
