<br>I can't find the thing on the FLAC website that<br>says this, but if I recall right, all versions of<br>FLAC are forwards-compatible unless the middle<br>version number changes. So if it was, say, 1.1.4<br>versus
1.0.1, you might, possibly, have a problem.<br>Both versions 1.1.x? No compatibility issue.<br><br>Regards,<br>Graue<br>
