Re: Track transition problems - I feel foolish...

I'm not sure what you mean by ID'in.....

foobar can check SBEs, yes, and while I'm thinking about it, checksums (md5 or ffp) are the only thing that foobar is unable to check for right now.

Re: Track transition problems - I feel foolish...

OK - raindawg, i'll go through those steps, but it may take some time. i'm going to be gone a lot of the weekend, but i did redownload one of the torrents i had trouble with, so that will be the files that i try everything on.

i'll get foobar as well and let you know what i find out.

thanks again for you help.

Checking for sbe's when the tracks are entered into the playlist (ID'ing them by having the tracks with the sbe show up in red and with the code)

Yes, that's how I do it. In fact, I just have the track time show up in green if it's SB aligned or red if it isn't. Since I drag all new files into foobar when I get them to put file tags on them, I just do a quick glance to see if there are any red file in lot. The formatting string posted here on TTD had an extra bit at the end where it tells you how many samples out it is (if I recall) but I don't really care about that, just yes or no.

Sometimes you download files that are flawed...they have the silences already at the end. Sometimes you download files that have SBEs. The files will play flawlessly, but once you burn them, the gaps will appear. I draw a distinction between files that arrived on my hard drive already flawed and ones that got flawed while they were burnt.

Yeah, getting used to checking all this stuff the first time can take a while. Once you get used looking at all this stuff, it takes only a few minutes to track down who screwed the files up and how. Then you have to decide if they are worth fixing or not....
