Hi there and thanks for the info.I did a reinstall of the the required apps yesterday which including the latest FLAC, thanks.
I decided against the upsampling. At the end of the day I want lossless to be just that - an exact duplicated of the original without affecting the actual file. The upsampling is done by foobar and seems to be working perfectly so no need to mess with the original file.
I am still not sure about those "errors". I think perhaps, since they are all at 0:00:00:00, that it is simply being reported like that since I am using AccurateRip and thus implementing offset correction (which affects the beginning of each track). The CRCs are always 100% - I assume that means they are in fact perfect rips?
I had one more question too - would you suggest ripping to individual tracks, or to one large FLAC file with a CUE sheet?
Follow Ups:
I have always ripped to one large FLAC file with a cue sheet. With Foobar this can cause a problem if the FLAC files and CUE sheets are in the same directory. When you play an album from the album list, you get all of the individual tracks, but song number two generally will be a single song that has the entire album as its contents. I think what is happening is that the library picks up both the cue sheet and the flac file as a single album and plays them all.In order to solve the problem I set a preference in Foobar for the library to only pick up *.cue files.
When ripping to one large flac file, you can still pick out individual songs for playlists and convert them back to wav files as individual songs.
If there are benefits to burning to individual tracks, please let me know what they are.
What is the attraction to ripping to one large .flac file? I always rip to individual files.There is no issue with non-gapless playback.
Makes organizing a playlist very easy.
You would think matching CRC's imply perfect rips. I use offset correction but never had problems like that. A second CD drive (different brand) comes in handy when I have errors.I rip to individual tracks, others use cue sheets. It's a matter of taste unless, for some reason, you have gaps in playback between tracks, in which the cue should be used.
