WOW, Monkey's Audio is still the best

I just tried with FLAC. Due to what seems to be a consequence of padding, I couldn't "corrupt" the data on the same string than before. I tried to locate the beginning of the FLAC audio stream and I modified the original data at a position which should be approximately the same than with WavPack or Monkey's (sorry if I'm not clear). The playback is fine ; I used foobar2000 bit-to-bit comparator to see if something happened. Result: only less than 100 ms are missing (~90 ms). Setting used: - flac -8 - flake -12 Result is the same for flac and flake. With Audition, the flake file contains 100 ms of silence at the beginning; the flac encoding immediatly starts on the first valid sample. Files are currently uploaded ; link will be available in a few minutes. EDIT: exact position of my "corruption" process: FLAC = 00006000h FLAKE= 00001a10h EDIT2: The archive is here:http://rapidshare.de/files/34277364/FLAC_F...UPTION.zip.html EDIT3: fandango> I was completely ignorant about this interesting component I had to recover 260 GB of lossless music this summer due to HDD corruption ; I was able to test the recovered FLAC files with the VUplayer app but I'm still looking for a way to check the integrity of the WavPack files. I dreamt about such foobar2000 components. I will look for it. Thanks !!! EDIT4:Item: "C:\temp audio\E37_PERIOD_CHAMBER_G_violin_pianoforte_CLEAN.ape" No problems found.
