Hi all, Lots of bugs and support requests in the sourceforge tracker are related to the FLAC frontend, which is bundled with FLAC for Windows with the installer. However, I couldn't find it in git. I really thought the FLAC frontend was part of the project, but it seems it is some piece of freeware last updated 10 years ago: http://members.home.nl/w.speek/index.htm Is this true? Anyone who knows more on this matter? Is it worth my time coding a replacement?

It compiles from main.c in this directory: https://git.xiph.org/?p=flac.git;a=tree;f=src/ flac;h=913c7576bc1d2be9a95ed9719243798df11b9d8e;hb=HEAD Erik -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Erik de Castro Lopo http://www.mega-nerd.com/
Sorry, I wasn't specific enough: there's a GUI bundled with the Windows installer as well, which is called 'FLAC Frontend'. It is used a lot but it has been broken for years. (just take a look at the Sourceforge bug section) Anyway, I've already started coding a replacement with MSVC 2005.
