Comment 4 for bug 368942

Stephen,

I tried the latest build and the same issue occurs. A 24-bit FLAC
file that was 55.8mb ended up as a 89.3 m4a file. The converted file
plays a fraction of a second of music, then static, then music etc.

When I use XLD to convert the files it works fine, so the issue
appears to be Max. My FLAC files come from the B&W music club
website. Any more ideas?

Carlos
