Hi Again.
this really is a follow on to a previous question.
I asked before how to fingerprint or create an md5 signature for a FLAC file.
Is there any need for this because I now load them onto FLAC frontend and press test.
So far every one has come up as OK.
Is this all thats needed and can I be certain the file is perfect as long as it tests OK?
Is the test feature which checks the fingerprint embedded in a FLAC the same check as an md5 on Shorten files.
Cheers,
Ian
if you test a FLAC and it passes, it means the file has no errors and what is decoded will exactly match what was encoded.
shorten has no internal MD5 so such testing must be done with a separate program, whereas with FLAC it is integrated.
