Topic: another flac question

[ts]

Warning: skipping unknown subchunk "junk". and then, skipping unknown subchunk "list". Then verify "OK", but some only 99% complete(they all tested OK). It's a show I transfered from PCM2600>CDR W33, then ran cdr's thru SF7 for tweaking(no EAC). Then took the newly tweaked files directlty to flac. Are my problems because I should have burned the new files to CDR first, then eac'd, before flac'ing? Thanks.

I think those are header errors that frontend is fixing.

FLAC is just stripping non-audio content in the header that is added by the wav editor.  No worries.

Thanks, but what about the fact that I opened the cdr's in SF7, worked on them, then right to flac, skipping EAC. My intent is to bt this.

that is were the header errors came from is my guess.  anytime I do any editing to a wav file in sf or wavlab and don't then open in cdwave if I run shntool 9 times out of 10 there are header errors.

Opeining the audio cds directly into soundforge skips the error correction protection that EAC provides.  IMHO, any time that you have an audio cd in a recording's lineage, EAC (or equivalent) should be used to convert the audio cd to data/wav.  Otherwise, there's too great of a risk that the audio>wav conversion would be lossy.
