Partial FLAC Files

<< < (2/2)

OK, it seems like maybe I have not drilled all the way down to the root just yet. I can say for sure that I did not resume the transfer on the new disk. That just does not happen in this system. Your statement about FLAC files not being sparse at rest appears to be an excellent observation.

I am getting help with CCC support.

chrisgreen:
I am still working through this issue, but I have a question about sparse files on APFS. I think I am reading that APFS creates sparse files normally and that files may remain in a sparse state. Can you say whether this is accurate. For example, if a FLAC file is sparse on a source drive that is formatted in APFS and is transferred to another APFS drive, could it remain in a sparse state?

blgentry:
I've been working with sparse files, on and off, for more than 20 years.  AFPS is relatively new and my knowledge of AFPS specific sparse file handling is minimal. 

I do know this:  I can copy files from drive to drive and I don't seem to have any problems with the files.  Some of my drives are HFS+ and some are AFPS.

OK, well I think I have a handle on this issue. There seems to be a few different issues that needed to be addressed. Hopefully, they are all resolved.

I still wonder why Adobe Audition (Fission also) identifies partial FLAC files and Media Center does not. I am trying to work out whether it is related to CRC.

I am not sure how well I understand CRC, but it sounds like an app can verify the audio portion of a FLAC using CRC. I believe MC does this to some extent. I am sure you know a heck of a lot more than me!
