If Micorsoft has stopped supporting it I see no reason for FLAC to support it.

Does FLAC still support all the Windows and Mac and *nix GUI frontends? I mostly use abcde, on the command line. -- -Dec. --- (no microsoft products were used to create this message)

Erik, Many people still use WinXP and will be using it for a while. This may be a reason. Regards, Federico Miyara On 18/09/2014 6:53, Erik de Castro Lopo wrote:> lvqcl wrote: > >> Oops.
