Hello,

During the import of some albums in FLAC I get this message and the complete import fails. Any idea?

I occasionally get this, but it's rare. Sometimes the headers in the FLAC files aren't complete.

You could try a FLAC to FLAC conversion and try reimporting the album. Make sure that this is not reducing bit depth or changing resolution.

Alternatively you could try and rerip the album.


Sooloos, Roon, G series (with LPS upgrade), 800 series (with LPS upgrade), HD621, AC200, Prime and PS, DSPs old and new.

Purdeys, Moke, Leica, 'Blad. Only the best.

It could be corruption in some of the FLAC files.

Try using dBpoweramp to check / validate them.

In fact you might do better to just use dBpa with the Meridian plug-in a bypass using Control:PC.

Regards,
Carl

This can happen on OS X when the file name (or containing folder name) has " or another special character.

Are you on OS X? Do you have such characters?

Then try re-encode FLAC-FLAC or FLAC-WAV.

I have had one or two albums which whatever I do will not import unless I convert them to WAV (permanently).
