i am having some issues with my flac files that i'm ripping from cds using eac. i get no errors when i have finished the process, but a lot of the time when i listen to the albums in foobar, i get an error in the console. i don't remember exactly what the error says b/c i was too absent-minded to write it down, but it is really getting on my nerves. is there any way to test the integrity of my flac files without listening to every single one?

i want to rip my entire cd collection to flac, but only if the rips are accurate...

Can't you just check off the box in EAC for getting a log - and read the log at the end?

 

[futangclan]

the log has no errors every single time.

i only get errors when i play back the flac files in foobar or winamp, for that matter.

Check if it (error) occurs only on your PC or on other PC's.

does it happen on all of your flac files or just some of them? If it happens to all of them it could be how foobar is setup as far as what you are using as the output method.

 

[futangclan]

it only happens to some of my files...maybe one or two out of an entire album.

I have the same experience. A single cut from an album triggers an error message in Foobar, and the EAC text file shows no error in the rip. Not frequent, but it does happen, and always at the beginning of the cut.

I don't think it matters much but are you guys using the newest version of flac? 1.1.2 I think.

That's really wierd 'cause flac is supposed to play through errors if there were any but there aren't so I'm not sure what's goin on

What are you guys' command lines for compressing flac?

This is what I use and I've never had any problems:
-8 -V -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T
"tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" %s

I'm assuming it's a problem with flac but what if you tried to encode it to another format like monkey's or straight wav for that matter? I guess it wouldn't hurt to try and see what happens.

Sounds like a foobar problem; you'd do better to ask this at the foobar forum.

I think had the same problem, when ripping and encoding to flac with EAC.
The error was:
"ERROR (foo_flac) : FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_FRAME_CRC_MISMAT CH"

Dunno what it was caused by, but nowadays i use EAC to rip to wav and FLAC frontend to encode to FLAC.

 

[futangclan]

yea that's the exact error i had.
