it looks like flacify currently decompresses the entire directory to wav before it compresses anything. Could you refactor so that it decompresses a file, recompresses it, and removes the wav before going to the next file?
That way you'd only need any one file decompressed on disk at a time.
Better yet you could just pipe the output of the decompression program into the compression program...
