Trader's Little Helper freeware for fixing SBE's

Hello, does anyone here use Trader's Little Helper? I'd like to hear some firsthand experience with it. And i'm especially interested in how it detects and fixes SBE's (Sector Boundary Errors), and if it is actually good at doing that.

EDIT: So i just figured out how the fixing of SBE's works. However i'm still interested in hearing some firsthand user experience about the software. Re-encoding FLAC, Testing WAVs for mp3 source etc.

Have used it for years for exactly that purpose: removing SBEs from 16/44 FLACs and WAVs.  Only "issues" I recall are that it won't accept mono (single-channel) files, and oddball characters in the path sometimes cause it to fail.  It also does not transfer tags to the fixed files.
