Individual reviews

Here are a couple of reviews you wrote for me. These don’t come from my imagination, their authenticity can be checked on winamp.com

 nice encoder.. by evilan airil

nice.. just download it n try it urself.. my electronics collection sounds better now although it uses bigger space than mp3.. but nothings better than nice quality of music...

 Flac Encoder by Alejandro Moreno

Just great, a bit bigger than regular MP3 but without quality loss. Just Great.

 More excellent work by James Darnley

I thought your FLAC input plug-in was good but when I found this I realised I could use Winamp all of the time; I wouldn’t have to rip to wave first or use some third-party program and waste some time.

 Flac encoder the best by Annette Giesbrecht

After concerting wav and cds to mp3 I have decided to convert all my music to flac. The quality of the music is vastly superior to that on Mp3s It is well worht the time waiting for the Cds to be ripped when one has the free version of Winamp.

 Great, except does not populate tag info by Fname Lname

This is great. I love FLAC, and am glad that there is finally a free way to rip it with full control over path formating, such as \ - \ - - ## -

Note: download my modified FLAC input plug-in if you want your tags to be populated

Winamp staff review

The encoder was reviewed by the winamp creators:

Does what it says... gives you FLAC encoding functionality with the Winamp 5 CD ripping engine. Check out the author’s write up for more information on FLAC files... also, be sure to download the author’s FLAC file support plugin.

Facts from the Winamp official website

My FLAC encoder for Winamp was downloaded 98,000 times, good score given lossless files aren’t [yet?] as much popular as lossy codecs.

Winamp.com users rated me 4,5 stars out of 5. That’s simply the highest possible mark one can get!
