just run your wavs thru flac frontend if youre on windoze and check the 'align on sector boundaries' box, done deal, since doing this i have yet to hear any artifacts YMMV tho
and ive had flac frontend say it corrected SBE's after i processed via CDWav.......

same here, just because you use cdwave doesnt mean they arent there, if you place a marker to close to the beginning/end of the files, you'll get an SBE
actually, that's not true. CD Wave
ALWAYS cuts files on sector boundaries. the
ONLY was to get a file with a sector boundary error when using CD Wave is if you don't cut off a little bit at the end. because the original file is probably not an exact multiple of a CD sector size, the last track is not going to be an even multiple. so you want to have a very short track at the end, that you'll just throw away. it could be 10 seconds, it could be less than a second, it doesn't matter.
here is an example. It's totally made up, because a CD Sector size is 1/75th of a second.
let's say a CD sector size is
5 seconds. the original file you have is 77 seconds.
if you use CD Wave to cut it, you can only place a track marker at intervals of 5 seconds. So let's say you place a marker at 10 seconds, 25 seconds, 35 seconds, 40 seconds, 45seconds, 60 seconds, and 70 seconds. Your last track will be 7 seconds long, not an even multiple of the sector size. so then you get a sector boundary error. What you want to do is place a track marker at 75, and then throw away the last track. the last good track is now 5, and an even multiple of a sector sice.
does that help at all?
