is anyone here familiar with wav files or flac encoding? I created a wav

following error:

Maybe ReZound made bad wav file. Try some other wav file, from different
source. Can this wav file be played with some player?
You were right. I had made 4 files actually, and 2 of them were bad. I
opened them and re-saved them with ReZound, and they encoded properly
this time. I'm glad it wasn't anything but bad luck. But the files were
each 300MB in size and the length of time opening and saving them was so
appreciable, I hadn't thought of trying it.

Now you'll know next time to rip using Linux.

I like app (and package) "abcde" for ripping and compressing.

Would have if I could have! But it wasn't a cd. It was an old cassette tape feeding into the sound card, captured with ReZound.

abcde is my ripper of choice too but I couldn't figure out how to make it read the wav files I had saved. It appears it only works from CD. So I resorted to the bare flac program to compress them.
