Tony

Download the dBPoweramp music converter trial version.
After 21-days trial of full functionality it will revert to the somewhat limited free version. Conversion will remain if I understand correctly.

dbpoweramp also allows tagging of wavs, worth every penny

did you try the sse2 version ? that was my intrinsic version of no buff

no. and now trying. no sound into exception. bug.

-intrinsic does have cleaner audio than xmm. but the volume/weight is a bit much. less vibration too.

uploaded 2.64 sse2 v2 version

2.64 sse2 v2, 2.64 sse2 v3

-both sound like other previous sse2 versions. sound don't spread as much as sse4. sse4's sound is like poison gas, it spreads everywhere.
-both sound good. top all other sse2.
-because sse2 sounds simpler. feels cleaner and clearer. feels more organized.

I know what you mean about the sse2's
But do you prefer it over the sse4's

Foobar alows you to convert from .flac to .wav. Its free.

you will probably need to download a plugin and put it in the correct folder. I'm sure you will figure it out!

I use Foobar to convert .flac and .wma files to WAV. It works well and quickly.

My turn for a question. The spread / poison gas thing with SSE4, is this a lack of focus and does SSE2 give more central focus?

Me too, I converted 0.5TB of flacs to wav in one run.
