So, just a final report on the various errors and warning, now all cleaned up.
First, installing and testing the PERL transcoder took me (who knew nothing about PERL etc etc....) about 1/2 an hour, and was pretty easy. Second, setting up and running the full transcoder of 300gb of FLAC, well over 12000 individual tracks, took about 36 hours, during which I gave it about 2 hours of my attention. Sorting out the relatively few errors etc probably took another couple of hours. Pretty amazing really - and I'm very grateful. Re-running the transcoder to update tags and add any new audio material is a doddle, and can be done (for me) once a month and will take, in the background, perhaps a hour or so. Here's the (non-technical) resolution of the problems (which consisted of about half of one percent of my total): > > Quote: > ------------------------- > > (12) [Choir of the Monks of St. Martin's Abbey, Beuron] Pater > noster.flac: WARNING, cannot check MD5 signature since it was > > unset in the STREAMINFO > ------------------------------------------------------- > The above seemed to make no difference in playing either Flac or transcoded MP3 - so I've ignored it. > > 01 -Dance No.1.flac: ERROR while decoding data > state = FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_END_OF_STREAM > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > 07 -It is a member of that family.flac: *** Got error code > 0:FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_LOST_SYNC > > ------------------------------------------------------- > Straightforward Flac re-rip for the above, and then a forced re-transcode.
