Post by: nic on February 01, 2004, 01:57:37 AM
when encoding to flac I checked the "align on sector boundary" option

well, it sounds like flac did what yuo told it to do... starting from that first track that reported the error it moved ~480 samples to the next track until the last one.

Looks like similar functionality to shntool.

mirth, I've encoded to flac before wher eit fixed sector boundary errors and it didnt give me that message.
also, the show was tracked out in cdwave, so sector boundaries shouldnt have been an issue anyways. . .

because the show was recorded in Soundforge so the beginning/end of each set might not be aligned on the sector boundaries

just make a cut at the end of the set, 1/2 second or so before it ends and you are fine. the beginning of the show cannot be placed over a sector anyhoo.

the end of the set doesn't need to be on a sector boundary anyway - sector boundaries only matter if you want a seamless transition, and the end of a set doesn't have a seamless transition to anything else...
unless you were making a compilation or something....
