The source of this project and the FLAC project can be found on http://sourceforge.net/project/flacfrontend and http://xiph.org/flac respectively. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ FAQ ------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Why is this command line thing popping up? FLAC frontend is a very simple program that just calls the 'real' FLAC encoder, which is command line based. This has been done to keep development of FLAC frontend easy and accessible and makes it possible to change the encoder without having to change anything in the FLAC frontend 2) Is there drag and drop support? Yes, there is. Just drag any files or directories to the list box in the top left of the FLAC frontend window. Any directories will automatically be searched (recursively) for .flac, .ogg, .oga and .wav files. 3) Where is FLAC tester? FLAC tester has been replaced by the frontend, because the frontend now has drag-and-drop support too. Just drag the files you want to test to the FLAC Frontend and click the test button. 4) How does the portable version of FLAC Frontend work? Just unzip the zip-file somewhere convenient and run the executable, either FLAC frontend-NET20.exe or FLAC frontend-NET40.exe, depending on which version of the .NET framework you have installed. If you have .NET 2.0, 3.0 or 3.5 you should use NET20, if you have .NET 4.0 or 4.5 use NET40. If you are not sure, just try both. You can just delete the other file if you don't want to have to remember which one is the right one.

request: update to latest FLAC
Hi
Can you update the frontend to latest FLAC or is there a way we can do this?
Parallel Processing FrontEnd

i write here because the FrontEnd does not allow to OpenTickets in SourceForge... and there is No e-mail in the web page of the FrontEnd...
https://sourceforge.net/projects/flacfrontend/?source=typ_redirect
http://flacfrontend.sourceforge.net
a very easy modification to the Front End...
there is a Law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl%27s_law
that calculates speed increases with parallel processing...
FLAC.exe 1.2.3 is more Serial Processing than parallel, and that´s OK for this modification...
if Processing Multiple files with the Frontend, Frontend is also Serial..
and that is a BIG mistake...
i have a .bat that forces Affinity for each flac.exe to a unique dedicated core/thread...
so a 8-thread CPU can Process 8-files Parallel, increasing speed A LOT!
a 32-Core CPU can Processes 32-files simultaneously, but becomes limited by HDD SATA 6Gbps speed.,
also limited by Power Management Level.
the modification for the FrontEnd, is to autodetect, also allow manual select Threads, similar to SystemStabilityTester.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/systester/
forcing each thread CPU AFFINITY to a different file...
converting 32 large "700MB" .wav files in Parallel, with a 32-core CPU, speed increase is incredible...
30-seconds vs. 1-hour.

etc...
#2.
there is a FLACCL that uses GPU+CPU and is very FAST, but the time it needs to Start the Engine, kills the purpose of the software in very small files...
another modification would be to also use FLACCL.exe
