Batch Flac Re-encoder?

[badazzmofo]

hi,

i've got some skipping problems with some flacs so i want to re-encode my whole 44 gb collection at level 8 with exhaustive model search.

im looking for a program that will reencode the file and save it to its source directory with the exact same filename so that the playlist files will be untouched.

anyone know a program that can do this?

i've tried mediacoder, but it saves the files with a different filename.

update: dbpoweramp batch converter is able to do it but doesnt appear to offer exhaustive model search.

i just listened to a jethro tull album i reencoded and no more skips!

I didn't reply because I don't know of a tool that would do what you want besides the regular FLAC frontened.. but you are saying that at level 8 the X-Fi2 is able to play them without skipping?

That would be a great find.
Level 8 is the highest compression right?

actually, it did start skipping again. creative support tells me to send it in for repair but i dont think they'll fix it.
