Rockbox allows recording (eg from vinyl) of 88.2KHz wav files on the iaudio X5L. These sound absolutely superb, and oggenc-aotuv451 gives great oggs from them. But could someone please advise on how they can be converted to a lossless compressed format like FLAC? Preferably using linux programs. Do they need to be resampled to 96KHz, and if so how is this done, please?
Many thanks.

You should be able to convert them to FLAC like any other WAV files - have you tried "flac file.wav" ?

I had, but got the following error message:
MonksDream_1.wav: ERROR initializing encoder
state = FLAC__STREAM_ENCODER_NOT_STREAMABLE
The encoding parameters specified do not conform to the FLAC Subset and may not
be streamable or playable in hardware devices. Add --lax to the command-line
options to encode with these parameters.
So running "flac --lax *.wav" works.
Thanks again.
