I have a bunch of CDs that I encoded with EAC a couple of years ago on my parents computer. I recently went to burn them and take them back to my place and noticed that none of them play. I've tryed to play them in both musikcube and winamp. Both of those players play the files I've recently ripped. I tested a few of the files in the flac frontend and got this kind of error.

So, is this just a metadata thing? I don't know if I had EAC put Id3 tags on them back when I ripped them (know better now) but would that cause this?
Thanks for any help.
