In this case Wave from APE is identical with the original. I have those both open in Notepad just now.
In the case of the WMA lossless and MC10 something is really not working. It's easy to see in Media Editor that the audio content is different.

Here is an example of what happened to some of my files during conversions with MC10.0.148:
After conversion one of the 12 files in this album is 48 seconds shorter than original ape was. Other eleven files are OK.
It's going to be a hard work to pick chopped files up from those 4319 files I did modify with MC10.0.148. Happily most of the work included only tagging and analyzing.
I guess I have to do analyzing again, if I like it to be as accurate as possible. I have no way to find out which files were analyzed before the decoding bug. Confirm, Matt?
What about files ripped with MC10.0.148? If I understand correctly decoding engine is included in the process. Files are first saved to wave and then converted to the end format.
I think there should have been a clear warning to users of 146-148, that the bug can chop files on disk. All the discussion about the bug before the 149 release was only about playback.
