RE: Some inconvenient facts

Between the wav tools and MD5 one can see whether the headers or the audio data have changed. These are different changes and they need different tools. I have found that using an editor and mixing the two files out of phase is the best way to compare to files for audio data, in that you can actually hear (and see) the differences. This can tell you a lot about what has changed and possibly why. (For example, a rip of a damaged disk that failed to be secure will often have a single sample that is off and one can hear this as a click at one point in the file.)
