Errors converting FLAC to mp3 - HELP!!!

[gustavog]

Hi, almost everytime I convert flac files to mp3 with dbpoweramp ref and batch file selector I get the following errors. I used previous versions with no problems. This started with version 12. What is going on?

Thanks.

Can you convert the files one folder at a time?

In dbpoweramp configuration >> codecs >> advanced you can set how to handle flac errors, I am sorry to say your flac files look corrupted.

I did one track and got no error. The track I did was the one that previously yielded this error:

I think this happens when EAC (or whatever other programs) put id3 tags in flacs and the encoder freaks out. The 1.1.3 flac command line encoder has a problem with this as well when doing flac to flac encodes (ie from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3 files.

check this thread for more detailed info:

when i find files with this problem, I use mediamonkey to re-encode flac to flac, then use the script in the thread above and/or dbpoweramp to do whatever I need done (doing replay/album gain primarily).

It shouldnt be the tags, id3v2 was once part of flac, and our decoder should read them ok.
