I need a program to check at what frequency levels certain songs play in order to make sure that the songs I got from an unanimous source, are truly flac files ripped from original cd/source and are not just mp3 files that were converted to flac. I'm hoping for either someone to link me up or to tell me the name of the program cuz I don't want to have a bunch of mp3>flac files filling up my hard drive, when they won't give me the best quality they should have.

How would you check them if you didn't have an mp3 version of it? Maybe we can talk our way through this

Pretty sure either the media explorers in Windows Media Player, Foobar, and/or Winamp have that built in (the column is either there by default of you can add it). Shouldn't need extra programs for this.

Uhh... matlab would do?
just google "matlab mp3 frequency response" or some shit and you'll get the necessary commands, back from my ee course it would be somth like freqz(inputfilearray)

even then, how on earth would you be able to tell the quality from just the frequency components?

And the very fact that you need a program to tell you if the files youa re listening to are flac or not flac tells us something.
I don't mean to be a dick, but ... just look at what you're saying

The whole purpose of flac is to listen to the good quality audio, if you need to look at the individual frequency components of a song (which afaik right now, won't tell you anything since both songs would be limited to 44.1Khz anyway? so you'll see the same peaks wherever. Correct me if im wrong)

then compress them back down to mp3 and save yourself botht he space and bother.

If the orignal source of the song is from like flac it'll be true 44.1Khz, but if it originally an mp3 file that then went on to be converted to flac, then there wouldn't be a quality increase. I want to check if the files that I got are truly flac, or were orignally mp3 that got converted to flac. Thats why I want a program that checks the levels at which songs play, for if it was mp3 to flac, there would be limitations.....

EDIT: nvm this question thread guys.
