Hi,<br><br>I'm a FLAC beginner and I had a question. Suppose I encode my whole CD collection now in the FLAC format, using the FLAC encoder version 1.1.4 (the most recent one at this time).<br>Will I still be able to decode all FLAC files to WAV files in the future using the latest FLAC decoder, when for example version
2.0 of FLAC (or a later version) is released or is it possible that at some point in the future you can't decode older FLAC files anymore with the latest FLAC decoder? <br><br>So basically my question is: can you always decode ANY FLAC file, no mather what FLAC encoder version you have used to encode it, by using ANY other newer FLAC decoder that still has to be released in the future?
<br><br>I was hoping the main developer Josh Coalson could confirm this, because it's an important point for people who like to store their CD collection in the FLAC format!<br><br>thanks in advance!<br>
