Keep in mind that to compre checksum, CRC, etc. you must compare audio CRC only. Every ripper may use different padding within the tags, add different tags (even in a WAV file), etc. So file sizes could be different. So your comparison above tells you nothing. See this thread re using Audio CRC only. http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=19704 -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72916 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
