This isn't a regression bug, I'm sure it happen once before in earlier builds
Adding cover art to *.flac makes track error (unplayable)

I played a flac tune, changed the track, added some cover art to first track and now it won't play again In VDJ. It plays fine in VLC (mediaplayer)

i'm curious about this since i use alot of flac.
did you add the cover art in vdj or with some other tagging software?
most of my flac files have cover art before i bring them into vdj.

Inside VDJ, could you test it isn't just me please? Make a copy of any flac track in windows and change/add cover art to it in vdj.
I'm not heart broken as the tracks I've broken are are backed up.

same outcome as you error on loading the flac file. - vdj build 1845.690

here is the process i used
removed art from file outside vdj
loaded file in vdj test play all is fine
added artwork to flac file inside of the tag editor in vdj art was from a local file.
file causes error now when attempt to load into deck
also i can see the art tried to load even though i got error.

on a brighter note just removing the artwork outside of vdj fixes the error.

Good stuff, a decent bit of testing between us.: Fault, confirmed, method & work around until it gets sorted.

Could you check if build 1855 still has the problem?
The file appears to be playing fine here after adding cover art.

1855 Win

Confusing Rhapsody always breaks the track, google breaks some times groveshark breaks some times

Also related to this problem when you remove a cover inside VDJ (to make it playable again) several seconds of the start of the track are removed
testing further (this is actually worrying as it effects the file outside VDJ)

Here is a link to a file that removing a cover in VDJ cut 3 seconds off the beginning of the track (even outside VDJ) (original and damaged)
If you need more info or if you would like another example of this or the previous error just ask

https://www.dropbox.com/s/nd70djyzo8crltj/12-Flac_Cover_Removed_Beginning_Cut.zip

Method add a cover to a flac track
track errors
remove the cover
track butchered even outside VDJ
