I will try completely re-tagging a couple of albums and see if that makes a difference.

I was hoping metaflac might tell you if *any* of the FLAC blocks are broken. FLAC files consist of blocks, with each block type containing different information, including, of course, your audio stream. See https://xiph.org/flac/format.html.

Another command-line tool in the flac package is, you guessed it, flac. Among its options is '-t' or '--test'. The man page says the action for this option is "Test a flac encoded file". I always assumed this tested only the encoded stream, which has a builtin checksum. I don't have any corrupted files like yours so I can't say if it tests all blocks.

Good luck.

Regards,
Kent
