Hej, well I'm not sure because those file that are corrupt have been around for a quite long time. It could have been k3b but I'm really not sure. Right now I was ripping with Audex and tagging with Audex/Amarok/kid3. Those files seem to be fine though. My lates approaches have been with Picard/beets :-) I think it's not possible to share those files without getting in legal trouble here or is it possible somehow to extract some information so it won't be an issue? regards Knut Am Donnerstag, 10.

Just asking. You can do a few things. Reading your previous post, it seems you now how to work with a command line, so could you post the output of the following two commands: flac -a -F some_corrupt_file.flac (see the .ana file which is generated) metaflac --list some_corrupt_file.flac (just the console output) Plus the exact size (in bytes) of the FLAC-file and the WAV-file that you retrieve using flac -d -F some_corrupt_file.flac You can also try to cut off the last 500kb of the FLAC-file if you are using Linux (or other UNIX-like probably, I have no idea how to do this in Windows or Mac) tail -c 500000 some_corrupt_file.flac > tail_cut_off.flac That's a sample of at most 10 seconds and won't get you into trouble.
So, let's provide some information then :-)
