After all these years I'm still somewhat irritated from time to time because of the problems users are reporting (no offense meant). Here we go... some answers, hints and remarks...

Sector boundary errors only make sense in connection with burning an
audio CD. According to the
Red Book standard audio CDs hold data in minimum block (
sector) sizes of 1/75th second. If you burn an audio file to an audio CD, and its length is not an exact number of sectors, the last sector will be padded with digital silence by your burning program. This microgap is referred to as a
sector boundary error and often audible as silence or click when listening to the CD. Among the rest, the
Red Book specifies the form of digital audio encoding on an audio CD as 2-channel
16-bit sampled at
44100 Hz. That's why TLH tells you
information about audio data is not available when you try to check other than 16 bit 44100 Hz encoded audio data for SBEs.

There was a manual with the
v1.1.0.89 and
v1.1.1.90 releases (took me months to write it). Unfortunately with
v2.0.0.142 a lot of things were changed. So a new manual had to be written. This is a very time consuming task, and I didn't had the time. Sorry for that... But there is a thread called
Trader's Little Helper in the
Technobabble forum here at TTD. Ask or report problems over there, and you will always get an answer or help.

The file format (if supported) does
not matter when checking for SBEs, the routine checking for SBEs is always the same. So there's no advantage or "better processing" if you convert the encoding format before checking for SBEs.

With the latest release
v2.6.0.168 these problems were fixed (at least I thought that). Which weird characters still cause problems?

Sorry, but this is sheer nonsense.
