This was released a year ago on 11/2019. Am I the first person to buy it on HDTracks and actually listen to it and discover that several of the tracks are corrupt? I've emailed HDTracks support about this. But it's been a year since this has been released. Am I the first to notice?
I did try downloading the affected tracks again. But the affected tracks are listed as the wrong length (shorter) than they should be on the official HDTracks tracks list. So what HDTracks has as their download is corrupt.
For the past 15 years I've used AccurateRip to verify CD rips. And for the past 10 or so years I've also used CueTools DB to verify CD rips. All of the CD rips in my library are good. None will have corrupted tracks.
Yet when I download from HDTracks, Qobuz, 7digital, Bandcamp, and other sources I have to trust that the service is sending me good files. There is no AccurateRip or CTDB equivalent to verify downloaded files. So no third-party way to verify integrity.
