Hello everyone, this is my first post here.

I've been trying to follow the method in the pinned thread "EAC+FLAC image". I get the WAV file from EAC and I use FLAC Frontend 1.7.1 to encode to FLAC with the boxes checked as indicated in the pinned thread. Below is the text from the encoding:

Can anyone tell me what this error message means? I did a search but couldn't find anything. I couldn't find mention of this issue on the FLAC website. I'd really appreciate any help you can give.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I also ran memtest, as was suggested in another thread, with no errors.

That general error is just referring to the fact that the "Tag guessing failed" as stated in your output. There's nothing wrong with your flac file. Turn tagging off or set it to tag differently, i.e. input the data yourself, don't have it try to guess.
