no. I suggest saving the compression level into a tag for future

[Flac] FLAC: getting compression level using metaflac<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Hi FLAC list!<BR><BR>I have a question (maybe a strange one) about
getting the compression level (0-8) using metaflac.<BR>So I want to know for a
given FLAC file what compression level was used to compress that file.<BR>I
tried using the --list option but this doesn't give any information about this.
<BR><BR>Is there a way to get the compression level of a given FLAC file using
metaflac or another tool?<BR><BR>thx<BR></BODY></HTML>
