I thought it was just a freak occurance. Having ripped around 70 of my CD singles to FLAC, I was playing them through both SB and Winamp and found one that cut short around 3/4 o the way though a track. On Winamp, I got an error pop-up telling me there was something wrong with the end of the stream. SB just stops playing and went straight to the next track.
Thinking it to be simply a dodgy rip, I re-ripped the track and all was fine. I've ripped a few more since then and by chance have found another track that exhibits same behaviour. I'm now beginning to doubt the "integrity" of my FLACs and wonder how many others might be like this. I've ripped around 100 CD singles so far and already found 2 relatively serious problems in the small number of tracks I've actually played 2 weekends of ripping/playing. By contrast, I've only found 3 or 4 bad rips in my MP3 collection over the past 2 or 3 years. Is there a program I can run my FLACs through to validate them and check they're ok, or see which ones need re-ripping? I rip to FLAC using EAC and FLAC 1.1.2. I've ripped using a number of different PCs (my desktop, my wife's desktop, and my laptop). All PCs have a decent spec, the lowest spec being my laptop with 1.7GHz mobile Pentium chip and 1GB RAM. I don't know what's up, but I don't think it's a resources issue on the ripping PCs. I need to check out these tracks without listening to every individual one (playing time is something like 15 hours so far).
