hi, suppose I burn my flac files to CD (not audio cd, but just data cd with all the flac files) and after some time the cd becomes damaged and some bits in some flac files are read incorrectly by the cd-rom drive. So what happens then with those flac files. Will doing verify on them fail? Will you still be able to decode them to WAV with only some damaged frames so with incorrect bits at the points where the cd was damaged (so only parts of the original audio data is lost: only damaged frames) OR will the whole flac file be damaged and not be able to decoded to WAV at all anymore (so the original audio data is lost)? thx in advance! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
