I have purchased and downloaded an album in flac format and as is my normal practice, I went to convert it from compressed to lossless, but on this occassion it failed and I received an error message "md5 did not match decoded data, file is corrupt"

The files play perfectly well so does anyone know what is wrong here please?

FLAC stores a checksum of the source audio, when decoding it can be calculated, if there is a miss match then the FLAC file you have has errors.
