If you get this error message

a) and the files pass checksum verification without error the checksum file was created after the file corruption took place (the md5 algorithm does not check whether the data stored in the file is valid; that's one reason why instead of a md5 a st5 checksum file should be created for .shn files).

b) usually there will be no decoded data on your drive. So how can you tell that the .wav files play fine?
