A long time ago, two years in fact, I created this thread: [image] Native option to remove padding from FLAC files General Discussion Hi there. I can't believe MP3tag doesn't support removing the padding and an option to show how much padding a FLAC file has and a warning…

I've just released Mp3tag v3.23d with a new entry Utils → Optimize FLAC in the right-click context menu of FLAC files. This will remove the excess padding from the selected FLAC files. To display existing padding, create a column with value %_tag_size_appended%. This reports the size of the padding…

Here is a thread that describes how you can call metaflac as a tool from within MP3tag: [image] Größe von FLAC-dateien wird durch entfernen von Album Covern nicht reduziert Fehlermeldungen Wenn man zu einer FLAC-Datei ein Album-Cover hinzufügt, wird die Dateigröße um die D…

I tried before doing it myself but it never worked. To boot, I don't speak German.

[image] Lebon14: removing the cover art does NOT remove the extra space that the cover art needed. I'm just curious: How much hard disc- or SSD space would you gain in your own collection by "optimizing" the FLAC size? And how much time would you loose, because you realize sometime later, t…

Probably not much, but again, I'm kind of anal about this as I absolutely loathe cover art embedding. Some people embed huge cover arts (several megabytes per file) and I finally want a one-stop app to remove everything. Never been able to call metaflac with MP3tag despite all the supposed solutions…

[image] Lebon14: I don't speak German. I would have thought that there are a lot of translation web sites around that translate setze den Pfad zu metaflac.exe gebe die Parameter ein: --remove --block-type=PICTURE,PADDING --dont-use-padding "%_path%" wähle für alle ausgewählten Dateien best…

For all future reader searching for the tool definition to remove the Cover Art and padding space for FLAC files in Ctrl+O, Tools: Adjust the Path: to the location where you have saved the two files metaflac.exe and libFLAC.dll if you add it in the Windows version of Mp3tag (available from here ht…

I have tried this in the past and it does not work.

I have tried this 2 minutes before and it works. Before: [Vorher] After: [Nachher]

Thanks but no thanks. I didn't come here in search of alternate solution with dependencies. I came here to ask Florian what was the status of a BUILT-IN solution. A one-click no bullock solution that will work like in Foobar2000. Using outside tools is not a built-in solution; it's a workaround. H…

Just an observation on my side: a lot of suggestions for functions for which there is something that you call [image] Lebon14: workaround have never been implemented. So I think that until the day when your suggestion becomes a function that you like better you have to live with the "work…
