[Flac-dev] format & seeking

[Mike Wren]

Personally, my answer would be to use the current lossless audio standard,
Shorten.  Information can be found at etree.org/software .  I would wait
until all lingering issues are resolved, and FLAC version 1.0 is released.
Currently, the format is still a little bit in flux, and may cause issues.
I'm sure Josh can comment further on this.

FLAC will become the new standard in lossless audio only when it's ready.
 From the progress I've seen, it still looks to be a few months off.

Hello ,

you've been written that file format is frozen.
does this mean that i'll be able to play files,
commpressed today, say, 1-2 years after?

thereby the next question is coming.
what kind of strategy do you plan to
enable fast seeking?
to write new seeking algoritm,
or to add some data to .flac file.

i ask of it because i want to write files on cd-r
and so i'd like to know can i do this now or
should wait until this problem will be solved.

Best regards, Andrey
