Hmmm, interesting, but I hope this won't be the case. I have encoded
about 120 of my CDs with 1.1.3, about 250 with 1.1.4 and the rest...,
about 230+ (which I have not finished ripping yet) and any new CD I
buy, will be encoded with 1.2.0 or higher. Once I rip my CDs I put
them in boxes and store then in Manhattan mini-storage. I don't have
the room to store them in my apartment. The main reason I went with
FLAC was because it was an open "lossless" format. I hope the changes
("new" features) that he's talking about are related to changes in the
"TAGS" that can be added/modified using existing or future tag tools. I
only want to rip these CDs once... I don't mind editing or adding tags,
but making my library and every other existing 1.x.x library obsolete
or less desirable is not something that I'd advertise. Any new version
of the decoders must remain backwards compatible with a
not-too-cumbersome upgrade path.
