I was just looking at a show for sbes and the beginning and end look like this:

I know an SBE is OK on the last track, but is it OK at the beginning track? And actually, when you see that there is an SBE, how do you know if the problem is at the beginning of the track or at the end of the track?

well, shntool presumes the problem is at the end of the track but in this case the best thing to do would be to pad the beginning and end of the disc with the correct number of silent samples. If you dump all of these tracks in shntool and tell it to fix the sbes, it will take < 588 samples from track 2 and paste it on the end of track 1, thereby creating a SBE on track 2, so it has to take a bit from track 3 to fix this and so on and so on until the last track which will get padded at the end.

can you run a preview of the shntool fix and post the results?
