Audiochecker

[jayb]

Does anyone know why audiochecker will sometime identify files in a FLAC rip of a CD I've made with EAC as MPEG, largely MPEG or Error?
Most recently this occurred on an absolutely legitimate 1983 Lionel Hampton CD from the Musical Heritage/Jazz heritage Society that I planned to upload to TPB.

I encoded with EAC following the excellent tutorial on this forum and then tried again with the dbpoweramp ripper (FLAC Level 8 on both) Audiochecker returned the same results on both of them.

Thanks all.

The Audiochecker algorithm will occasionally produce false positives. In my experience, uploaders who re-encode aren't likely to even provide info. to support whether the files are lossless are not. Sounds like a great album.... upload away and screw the trollers!

Edit/

Here is one of my torrents Yo Yo Ma where someone thought it was transcoded. I ripped it myself. The log is included but people will still question it! After that upload I started putting, "Ripped from my CD using......" in the description of the torrent. That's all you can do man....

Thanks tuffgong.
I read the comments on your Bach Cello Suites page and had to laugh at your reply. I spent 40 years in the consumer electronics industry with a good deal of that calling on high end audio dealers. There's a lot of really good equipment out there, but so much of it is pure hype.

(Thanks for the Yo Yo Ma link. I'll give them a listen. I love my Janos Starker on Mercury Living Presence. Old but really well recorded.)
