Wavpack MD5

For encoding files losslessly, I use WavPack 4.31 (the latest version), with the -m (compute & store MD5 signature of raw audio data) included on the command line.

I've encoded all my files with the same command line, and I replaygain the album, so that it looks something like this in foobar2000 when I click "properties":

Code: [Select]
replaygain_track_gain = -7.77 dB
replaygain_album_gain = -8.29 dB
replaygain_track_peak = 0.977233
replaygain_album_peak = 0.977386
index = 45864
samplerate = 44100
channels = 2
bitspersample = 16
format = Integer
codec = WavPack
bitrate = 860
compression = Lossless

Today I encoded a few more albums, I checked the "properties" in foobar2000 again and here is what I got:
Code: [Select]
samplerate = 44100
channels = 2
bitspersample = 16
format = Integer
codec = WavPack
version = 4
bitrate = 928
compression = Lossless, High
original MD5 = 956b378c6220394fbe0bbd14e544c707
referenced_file = 謝霆鋒 - 黃 - Disc 2.wv
replaygain_track_gain = -8.85 dB
replaygain_track_peak = 0.973724
replaygain_album_gain = -9.17 dB
replaygain_album_peak = 0.988708

The difference is that the files encoded today have these displayed in the file's properties:
version = 4
compression = Lossless, High
original MD5 = 956b378c6220394fbe0bbd14e544c707
referenced_file = 謝霆鋒 - 黃 - Disc 2.wv

Is there some reason that my previous files don't display this information?

It seems like some of ones loaded in your playlist are CUEs, instead of the actual file, while others aren't. Perhaps only the cue contains the md5?

Forgot to state that I embed cuesheets in my Wavpack files, the cuesheets embedded don't contain any info on MD5.

I encode the files to Wavpack, replay gain them and embed the cuesheet into the file every time.

I just find it strange that the files encoded today display more information...
