Unfortunately I told you some crap in my last answer, really sorry for that. Don't know what happened when I posted this ... most likely I'm too old for all this newfangled technical stuff, or maybe for a short time my brain was taken over by some aliens who wanted to know everything about TLH, or I was just too diverted by my girl friend who from time to time tries to "convince" me that I can have more fun with her instead with my computers ;-) ...

Anyway, it's the "... either the checksum header part or the audio data part of the flac file is corrupt. Most times it's the audio data ..." statement that's wrong. If you experience one of the error messages we're talking about in most cases it is *not* the audio part because there wasn't any error during the decoding process (and it's very hard to fool the flac decoder). So most likely the raw audio data is *not* corrupt.
