something to realize about FLAC and ffp is that every FLAC file contains one ffp checksum in its header. so testing a ffp just reads what's in the ffp file and compares it to what's in the header of each FLAC file in the list, without checking anything else. In order to truely check the FLAC files, test mode must be used, which decompresses the audio in each FLAC file and compares it to what it written in its own header as being the correct checksum. st5 also checks the decompressed audio data, but not against the checksum in the header but rather against what is written in the st5 file (which is a txt file like a ffp).
is that confusing enough?
in a nutshell, testing via ffp is not enouh, also use test mode on FLAC files, or test using st5
and ffp for full verification.
there's a tutorial in my signature that covers most of the nitty-gritty.
hope this helps
