General Audio / Re: preferred/best method for encoding 48khz FLAC --> 44.1khz lossy
Last post by john33 -Edit: I'm referring to foobar.
The dramatically easier way I've found to do this is to encode to +1.5 or +3 or +4.5 (etc.) db above the target volume, and then use fb2k or mp3gain to lower the resulting file by that same amount. I'm doing this with FB2k, and this may engage some anti-clipping algorithm that I'm not aware of and for which I can't find a switch. I haven't tried it with commandline or LameDropXPd to see if baseline LAME encoder does the same thing.
It has always been that way. If you want only playlist files, disable tracking UI playlists. Otherwise, create playlist files.
