A little help w FLAC FE

Well the problem there is explained right in the error code ... previous attempts at encoding to flac have left partial files which flac.exe can't overwrite unless you use the -f switch. Yes, this is common. So delete all previous unwanted versions before you try again. And don't use the 'delete input file' command until you are sure everything is working right.

Thats what stumps me - I thought I did erase all previous files

pmonk I read that so fast I thought you were Sid, sorry man.

So you mean to say the files are deleted but you still get that error? Double check; are they really deleted?

OK - I encoded a .wav file to flac where the output directory is the same as input directory and I get this
