Thank you very much, it works indeed with: flac -d --keep-foreign-metadata testmarkers.flac
Suggestion for devs: 1) If a file has been compressed with "--keep-foreign-metadata", then make "flac -d" decompress the file with metadata *by default*, without having to also do "--keep-foreign-metadata" during decompression. It makes sense that, if we compressed with this option enabled, the file should keep the metadata, also during decompression. 2) Could we enable --stdout also when using "flac -d --keep-foreign-metadata"? It would be useful for this purpose: md5sum myfile.wav flac -d --keep-foreign-metadata myfile.flac --stdout | md5sum This would allow to compare the original file (including the markers and metadata) and the result of the decompression of the flac, to be 100% sure that the metadata are kept in the compressed file. Best regards.
