[Flac] FLAC: getting compression level using metaflac

This has been asked many times.  The answer is no.  I suggest saving the
compression level into a tag for future reference, but that won't help you
with files you get from unknown locations.

Subject: [Flac] FLAC: getting compression level using metaflac


Hi FLAC list!

I have a question (maybe a strange one) about getting the compression level
(0-8) using metaflac.
So I want to know for a given FLAC file what compression level was used to
compress that file.
I tried using the --list option but this doesn't give any information about
this. 

Is there a way to get the compression level of a given FLAC file using
metaflac or another tool?

thx
