APE files stop during playback ...

<< < (2/2)

JimH:
Matt's suggestion of looking at one in JRiver Media Center's Media Editor (under tools/advanced) is a good idea.  The files sound like they may be corrupt.

Matt:
If you have corrupt files, it is almost surely a sign of a hardware glitch.

Memory errors are far and away the most common issue.  (I had a bad stick of memory recently that caused me some grief)  A chipset or drive failure could also cause flipped bits.

I'd stress test your memory.

You can verify your APE files using the tool at monkeysaudio.com

Best of luck.

Matt,
I looked for the tool but I can't find it. Where?

Alex B:
The verify function is available in the standard Monkey's Audio program:

This thread has info about memory errors & tests:

Charlemagne 8:
All this time and I never knew there was a separate APE application. The depths of my ignorance sometimes astounds me.
Anyway, that's doing the trick. I've found quite a few that need to be re-ripped but thankfully not all 2000 or so of them.
The good ones then go to another hard drive for safety.
Thanks for the help.
