dBpoweramp AIFF bug or flac.exe bug?

[Spies]

When attempting to convert a dBpoweramp sourced AIFF with flac.exe in the command prompt I get the following "ERROR: SSND chunk size inconsistent with sample frame count"

Does anyone know what this error means and if this is a dBpoweramp AIFF issue or a flac.exe issue?

Hi,

The flac.exe program ignores the amount of data bytes quoted in the SSND chunk and tries to read to the end of the file, which would be fine if the SSND data was the last data in the file. The problem is that there is an ID3 chunk at the end of the file which flac.exe doesn't recognise. It therefore thinks that the audio data is too long.

Best regards,
Daren.
