"Error: read error during encoding" during wav to flac conversion #65

Open jbd opened 8 years ago

jbd commented 8 years ago

Hello, I've just bought this in 24-bit wav: http://www.erasedtapes.com/store/index/ERATP062

When I try to convert on track using track2track, I've got this error :

$ track2track -V debug -t flac -j 1 --format="%(basename)s.flac" 01\ Lit.wav
*** Error: read error during encoding

When I try to convert it using the flac binary, it works with some warnings :

$ flac 01\ Lit.wav -o output.flac

Is that something that could be worked around or the upstream wav file has a problem ?
