Error "Error decoding decoding audio, audio corrupt? [clDecoder::DecodeBlock]"

[cs8alm]

Hi I have 3000 WMA lossless audio (9.2) files that I am trying to convert to flac 1.1.4. I get the following error for each file:

Error converting to FLAC, 'C:\Users\Ade\Music\Windows Media\Anastacia\Anastacia\07 Welcome To My Truth.wma' to 'C:\Users\Ade\Music\FLAC\07 Welcome To My Truth.flac'
Error decoding decoding audio, audio corrupt? [clDecoder::DecodeBlock]

I am using dbPowerAmp Reference 12.1 with the FLAC codec Release 9 and WMA code release 3 for Vista (as the software is installed on vista).

Any idea as to what is going wrong?

Thaks

Re: Error &quot;Error decoding decoding audio, audio corrupt? [clDecoder::DecodeBlock]&quot;

If you choose "Test Conversion" as you codec, do you still get this error? Can you convert your files to another format, such as WAV or mp3? The error seems to indicate that there is a problem decoding your WMA files. Can you play them in WMP? Are they encrypted?

can windows media player play the files? are they copy protected?
