Corrupted flac files

[wernerL]

I get corrupted files when working with (some) flac files.

For example when I open a file, removing whitespace from the title and saving the file with jaikoz I end with a corrupted file.

Here’s is the output from cmd console:

Is the problem a “bad” flac-file or a bug in jaikoz?
Even if it’s a “bad” flac file it shoudn’t get corrupted.

I tried to attach an example flac file, but I guess it’s to big. I end up in an 500 server error.

Hi, I don’t know do you have the original file please, if so send me the original file (and corrupted version) using megafileupload.com and I’ll take a look.

Hi

Do you know what was used to originally encode this Flac file because AFAIK it doesn’t match the Flac specification because the first block is a PictureBlock when it should be a StreamInfo block,

A FLAC bitstream consists of the “fLaC” marker at the beginning of the stream, followed by a mandatory metadata block (called the STREAMINFO block), any number of other metadata blocks, then the audio frames.

from http://flac.sourceforge.net/format.html

Having said that it does actually play in Winamp, so I will try to fix writing to the file.
