yes flac -t is a life saver because relying on md5sum --check to test against previously stored metaflac --show-md5sum is not sufficient, i have had files get truncated several times and pass that test but of course flac -t flagged them this made me wonder if maybe the checksum shouldn't be stored at the beginning and end of the flac file but maybe not worth it also, if you don't use md5check perl script you should! it recursively finds all md5 sigs in.txt files and checks them and does flac -t also - has saved me many times... _______________________________________________ Flac mailing list Flac@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac
