Topic: 2 Tech questions-Sector Boundary errors and Flacs

[Boedi-taper]

Hello!
Ok,here is my question,maybe someone can help me: Question: I uploaded a show a few weeks ago for the 1st and only time to Dimeadozen.I used CD wav editor to split the tracks and then Traders little helper to transfer the wav files to flac.When I downloaded the show to CD after uploading,there were no SBE's(Sector boundary errors).Everything came out good.Now,I am trying to download a show to CD from another source that I did through CD wav editor then to traders little helper.On this new source,I can't extract the flac files to Winamp,to where winamp automatically extracts the flac files to wav files,to where it burns to CD.I know when I download a show from a torrent site,winamp automatically burns the flac files to wav files and I'm able to make a CD.So basically now I am extracting the separate wav files from this source to Winamp,to where it does make a CD,but now has sector boundary errors.And likewise,I can't burn Flac to CD using Winamp fromm this source.Confusing? Yea probably.Anyway,when I use Traders Little helper to fix the SBE's,it can't do it.If anyone has any help/suggestions,I'd very much appreciate it! Thanks!

Dave,

When encoding wav > flac with TLH, don't forget to check the box "Align on sector boundaries using"  Set the drop down box to "fix".  Its located in the lower left , above the big "Process log" box.

you can also flac directly from cdwave when you save the files.  when doing 16bit I did it all the time.

oh and burrrn is the shit for burning.  I wouldn't use winamp.  burrrn will burn the flac to cd without having to convert first and it's free, small footprint and works in vista and 7.

oh and you said tlh can't fix them.  why not?  what error?  does tlh show sbe's when you analyze the files (show audio details)?

I've always heard that you get more burn errors when burning from flac, rather than from wav. Is that true?

never had a problem using burrrn or nero.

winamp is finicky - nero always works for me, although I usually convert first
