Hi,

Just to be clear... This is a fairly new occurrence... files I ripped a good while ago, all play fine.
I noticed this myself a while back when doing the patch to clean up the metadata stuff.
It could very well be the process of writing the metadata that is corrupting the files in which case, errr, sorry! ;)
In fairness, I did very little with the FLAC metadata code other than move it around. I didn't look at it's functionality one jot (unlike the ID3 and to a lesser extent the Ogg Vorbis Comment stuff).
It seemed to me that the I was getting corrupted FLAC files regularly if I wrote the metadata more than once to the file (I used a little test program which linked against the metaio* files), but I figured that MythMusic only writes metadata once when ripping at the moment so it should be too drastic at the moment, but it looks like there is now a metadata editor patch which changes this so the issue will have to be addressed.
I'm not an expert on FLAC, but I believe that FLAC can be happily contained in an Ogg stream. Is this how MythMusic does it when ripping?? I know that it used Vorbis Comments in the FLAC files at the moment, but I don't know if that implies it's a Ogg stream or not. If it isn't an Ogg steam and it were changed to "make it so", would that mean that the MetaIOOggVorbisComment and MetaIOFlacVorbisComment could be combined in some way???
I should look into this a bit further I sps, but any pointers would be apprecieated.
Cheers and Merry Christmas!
