Topic: FLAC conversion error and question

[Mitchell (Jake and Sawyer's Dad)]

guys - I DL'd the 9/15 Doodis show (taped, transfered and uploaded by my boy Bean!), and unzipped it.  I was converting from FLAC to WAV, and all the tracks work and converted except the first one - I am getting an error that reads:

doodis2005-09-15.481.d1t01.flac:  *** GOT ERROR CODE 0:FLAC_STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_LOST_SYNC

WHat does this mean?  Is there a way to fix the track without having to try to re-DL the whole show (it taked my computer FOREVER to DL shows....)

mitchell, in the archive, just re-d/l the first track ONLY, make sure its flac and let her rip

and why does the archive zip flacs its freakin pointless

I dunno, I find the ability to download an entire show with a single mouseclick (and without needing to launch my ftp program) to be pretty convenient.

why cant one just d/l the entire show in its own folder like its posted or doesnt it work that way

IME, the directory contains ALL the files - FLAC, OGG, MP3, ZIP, etc.  So you gotta pick specific files when downloading via FTP from LMA.  So why not just d/l a single ZIP and extract.  About the same in terms of effort, IMO - barely any!

couldnt you simply do that w/ OUT the zips tho? couldnt you just d/l the whole diredctory w/ out it being zip'd

not from the http (web) page -- further, if the ftp directory contains the flac files, the mp3 files, the ogg files, etc., there'd be a lot of stuff you'd need to de-select if you only wanted the flacs. 

I agree that there's no storage advantage to zipping flacs, but it sure is more convenient to me

makes sense, and since im clueless, thats why i asked

thanks!

I DL'd it again and its the same thing!  Same error!

[F.O.Bean]

im clueless bud, ask someone else to d/l it and see whats up

at the very worst, the first track should only be banter and tuning so all of the music is there!
