BTW: Medieval is not very accurate:

The report, which you've cited before, is now five years old and none too clear at that.

About three years ago, I used the program to help a friend sort out his by-then-very-muddled 1,000+ collection of one-track-per-album ripped CDs. For obvious reasons, he wanted to avoid re-ripping: I split the albums into files, tagged them using Tag&Rename and a few scripts and wrote cuesheets with Al's little utility.

My friend has not reported a single sonic hitch since. Trust me, if there'd been any, he'd have told me. IOW, the program works fine, at least for me.

I haven�t the slightest idea if the author ever addressed the problems mentioned.

Anyway current website says
Known bug: MPC engine can cause a bit of jitter at the beginning/end of tracks.
Limitations: MD5 checksum is not calculated for generated FLAC files

  I know - that was my point.

  Yes, I saw that. However, "MPC engine" refers to Musepack, a lossy format, albeit a purportedly high-quality one. It is of limited relevance in our context.
  
  I don't see what sonic benefits calculating MD5 checksums might offer.
  
  I'm not suggesting the program is the very best there is - I haven't tried any others. I'm saying simply that it works and worked well for me in a data-intensive application. IOW, the comments about it on your otherwise excellent web site are potentially misleading.

    MD5 allows you to test the integrity of the audio part.
    Although rare, sometimes some bits will topple over probably because the memory of a PC is most of the time not ECC.
    I discovered a couple of flaws in my collection by running the MD5 test.
