Say hi to Bill the Cat for me. I miss him. Ack!


http://wiki.etree.org/index.php?page=FlacFingerprint

A FLAC Fingerprint is generated only for the audio data portion of the file. (Therefore, changing the filename or the tags or FlacMetadata does not change the fingerprint calculation.) In contrast, an .md5 is generated against the whole file, including header portions.

st5 is equivalent to ffp for flac files, but st5 checksums can also be generated for shn and ape files.
