never seen this error before.  says it's extra chunks.  does it even matter as it's the first and last tracks of the disc?

I'm guessing that it's on anything you did a fade in/out on in some other program. It probably wrote some metadata to that wave file. Extra chunks = metadata ... the wave data itself should still be fine.

[Gordon]

this isn't one I did.  it's a old jgb shn.

the wave data itself should still be fine.

that's what I figured as this is a well cirulated show and I haven't heard of any problems.

Somewhat off topic, but am I the only person who's never been able to make heads or tails of shntool?

Am I moron?

[F.O.Bean]

took someone to walk me thru it

you have to have a few files in certain folders and then dig deep into your comp

what does the "s" under the cdr heading mean..?

[twatts (pants are so over-rated...)]

"e" is Extra Riff Chunk (whatever that means).  Use the "Strip" command (in place of Fix) to take care of these...

cdr    Shows properties related to CD-quality files.  A  'c'  in
                     the  first slot indicates that the WAVE data is not [C]D-
                     quality.  A 'b' in the second slot indicates that the CD-
                     quality  WAVE data is not cut on a sector boundary.  An
                     's' in the third slot indicates that the CD-quality  WAVE
                     data is too short to be burned.

                     A '-' in any of these slots indicates that the particular
                     property is OK or normal.  An 'x' in any of  these  slots
                     indicates  that the particular property does not apply to
                     this file, or cannot be determined.

thx. that is what i was afraid of. any idea how long the shortest file could be and still be burned to a redbook cd..?

[scb]

>>Red Book audio specifications

The basic specifications state that
Maximum playing time is 79.8 minutes [5]
Minimum duration for a track is 4 seconds (including 2-second pause)
Maximum number of tracks is 99
Maximum number of index points (subdivisions of a track) is 99 with no maximum time limit
International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) should be included<<

[macdaddy]

 four seconds....

the track i was dealing with is three. i will just join it (it is a fade track; i hit the record button with not much time to spare)...

thx again.
