Thanks Erik, I'll check back.<br><br>
This next is a feature request: Today it is not possible to know the
encoding of a flac archive. Many new devices support playback of flac,
however tiny processors sometimes have a hard time decoding files with
the default encoding of -5 or higher, resulting in unstable playback or
even reduced audio quality. A re-encoding to -0 often solve these
issues.<br>
Can you look at a way to store parameters used for encoding in an archive
so we can check it later? <br><br>
Best regards<br><br>

I think there are patches to do that in the queue. Perhaps you can
check<br>
back in two weeks or so.<br><br>
