Unfortunately, I have no idea how the file got so corrupted. There isn't
really a pattern to the corruption here. It's only happened on a small
number of albums, but each file within it.

The only thing that is supposed to touch these files is EAC during the
initial encode, then I use flac2mp3 to create a low-bitrate MP3 copy and
then I paste the tag data in MP3Tag from the MP3 to FLAC once I have
looked it up with Windows Media Player (I'm still to find as good a
source for tags as AMG).

Some of the files (and maybe these ones are in that category) spent
some time on my laptop, so they were probably added to the WMP library
through the use of the WMP Tag Extender plugin. To me it appears that
this plugin never writes to the FLAC files, desptie its claim to do so,
so maybe that's the origin of the problem.

Finally I have had a small number of files encoded into APE and then
recoded to FLAC through Foobar, but I never had any problems there.

Funnily enough, SC did not see these additional tags until v 7.4 which
is why I never had any idea this was going on.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will try to strip all the tag info
using metadata and retag the files. There aren't that many.
