I'm running a Win XP machine, using flac version 1.7.1 Etree edition and listening to flac's with VLC 0.8.6c.
When I convert my wavs to flac, I find that often times during playback, the audio will end abruptly, although the song is not finished. It's stranger too because if I drag the play scroller bar thing in VLC past the point at which the song stops, then the remainer of the song will continue playing without complication. I'm also having a problem in trying to decode many of these flac's which are exibiting these faulty playback symptoms. Should I be running a differant version of .flac frontend? Is there a way to fix these undecodable files? Am I missing a step in the encording process (I just drag / drop, select quality '8', choose output, and hit encode)? Please help me out, this is getting rediculous!
