1) If you are using a library that is FLAC only, I think you will find 7.2 works just fine. However, I would be tempted to use 7.2.1 from the nightly builds which has a number of bug fixes included. The list of issues fixed so far in 7.2.1 be found at the top of this file:

Hey Kurt, welcome Not much to add to accumulated good comments, other than to say I would start out keeping things plain vanilla for awhile. Get your basic stuff set up and running, use it, try out the different capabilities, see what features you like and dislike, etc. Accumulate some
