Before everyone switches to WAV, that's 1 out of 3 hard drives I had failing - no problem with the FLAC format itself. I actually managed to recover the FLAC's and knew that I had not lost anything by verifying them against their internal fingerprints (MD5's). Something I wouldn't have been able to do with WAV's unless I'd kept a seperate checksum/SFV file, and that would have been a lot of trouble seeing as many had been renamed and moved to different folders since the initial rip.

Going to the trouble/time/expense of keeping a lossless collection and not using EAC is like drinking Johnnie Walker Blue Label and mixing it with coke. -- Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=213 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18552 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
