Interstellar Soundtrack Flac New!

Here’s a helpful write-up on the Interstellar soundtrack in FLAC format:

Physical Media for DIY FLAC

• The 2xCD Deluxe Edition: Buy it used, rip it using Exact Audio Copy (EAC) or XLD. This gives you authentic Red Book CD FLACs.
• The Vinyl Box Set (4xLP at 45rpm): If you have a high-quality turntable and ADC (like the RME ADI-2), you can rip to 24/192 FLAC. Vinyl includes unique mastering (less compression than the digital CD). However, note the surface noise and inner-groove distortion on “S.T.A.Y.”

4) Convert or transcode safely (if needed)

• If you have ALAC: convert to FLAC if your workflow requires FLAC, using a lossless converter (foobar2000 or ffmpeg with -c:a flac).
• Never transcode from lossy (MP3/AAC) to FLAC — that preserves the loss but wastes space.

Example ffmpeg command:

ffmpeg -i input.m4a -c:a flac output.flac
