best way to check for file errors

question

I finally got my hands on the 2014 motorhead show i taped that were sent to me from someone on etree

but listening the files seem off. they start and stop (stutter?)

is tlh the best way to check for errors to see if it is the files, or my vlc player needs updating (different shows play just fine)

Re: best way to check for file errors

I would test the files for errors

for flac make .ffp
for shn or ape make .st5
or you can test encode audio file.

but never rely on .md5

I have encountered many corrupt files where md5 has passed, do not understand the point of md5, except for info or covers

thanks for the help. they say flac so i will run it through the ffp setting (i dont know if anyone messed around with it as the file was missing the original info file

If it passes I will upload here

Re: best way to check for file errors

woke up today after running Vuze overnight to attempt to grab a video.
message at Vuze read: disk error (in line of the torrent progress listing)
panic ensued.
rebooted, ran chkdsk which said no disk errors were found.
should i get another utility? i used to run Norton Tools long ago but now i don't know what's out there.
