Hm, after reading the "frustrated mac user" thread I'm beginning to think that SBE's are, in fact, the stuff of lore and legend.SBE's are a myth I tell ya. A myth.

However, I do know that if you do any processing AFTER you do your tracking (EQing, fades, etc.) that you can make new SBEs... I've seen sources marked source>cdwave>SF5.0 (fades)>FLAC that have SBEs because of the fades being put in afterwards. Anyways, I think its a good idea to run Traders Helper or SHNTOOLs to check for SBEs and fix them if you can. Its just nice...Terrywhile it's possible to introduce SBE if you edit the show after you track, it's not neccesarily true. I always add fades after I track, and I never get SBEs (I check every show with SHNtool). Fades don't change the length of the file. As long as you don't change the length of the file, you won't get SBE's after the fact.

Hmm. I could be wrong but I was told a long time ago to NEVER check that sector boundery box in frontend. It does something bad to the files although I can't remember right now what that is. Anyone? Take it for what it's worth.

Take it for what it's worth.i remember hearing that discussion as well, but can't remember what it did to the files. however, my memory is that more recent versions of the frontend fixed the glitch and that having frontend fix the boundary errors is now ok.
damon is right, i directly asked mike wren about it and he said in the last couple of years, that glitch has been fixeed and the sbe box has been flawless
I still swear by CDWAVE>FLAC FRONTEND (SB box not checked)>SHNTOOL. Works everytime.

Works everytime.you can skip the flac frontend step with the current versions of cdwav...you can choose to output directly as flac files and cdwav takes care of sbe's for you...then to double check, run shntool to confirm, but this is how i do it and have had zero problems with it.

Don't know why.
