Battery life on FLAC 0 and FLAC 8 ...

(1/4) > >>

epaludo:
Which one has better battery life when played on a rockbox capable DAP, a file encoded using FLAC 0 or one using FLAC 8?

I know the FLAC 0 is less CPU consuming, but it's larger so needs more access to the hard drive.

Was wondering which one has better battery life ... ?

saratoga:
8 will use less power.  FLAC runs the processor on the lowest speed on all software targets anyway, so you don't gain anything by going lower then 8.

DefineByte:
Wouldn't the fact that FLAC 8 is smaller mean that you could fit more in the playback buffer and thus save a small amount of battery life?

LambdaCalculus:
FLAC 8 is the highest compression level for the file format, am I correct?

DefineByte:
That's correct.
