3h:22m relates to a maximum value in either file length or file header.
I can't remember the exact details but it was the source of an AlienBBC bug many many years ago where streams stopped after 3:22. IIRC Flac files have a STREAMINFO metadata block which details how many samples in the file The max number of sample for a CD quality file results in a stream of 3hrs:22 mins For files longer than 3h:22m AFAIK there are three choices (i) use zero in STREAMINFO - means length unknown (ii) ignore length given in header (e.g. via flac command line option ignore-length) (iii) maybe use multiple STEAMINFO blocks - this would require a multi pass encoder. For transcoding LMS uses the "--ignore-length option. Not sure what Scanner does to determine duration of flac file (e.g. file length vs. Header field) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116230 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
