ok so this is where i am on this issue.
i have been tagging all of the files i know to have errors so it is easy to go and check them.
most files have only one error which in MC manifests itself as a 1 to 2 second silence. In winamp the ape plugin generates an error and stops playback.
The errors are there every time during playback and allways in the same place.
If I re-rip the cd the error will be gone, but there have been a few instances where there will be a new error on a different track, this is infrequent since it seems to happen about once every 3 cds.
So I went through and verified one of the cds with errors and it showed up saying invalid checksum on the track with the playback error.
So what is your recommendation at this point?
thanks for the help matt, just the info about being able to do a batch verify is amazingly helpful, i had a topic a few weeks ago asking if that was possible and no one had a definitive answer, you saved me an unbelieveable amount of time showing me that trick.
thanks,
Kain
