VLC 3.0.18
MacBook Pro M1Pro
MacOS 12.6.2
Ripped a CD to FLAC (Level on my Windows machine using dbPoweramp and then used converter to get MP3 (-v0) from FLAC. Moved files to MBP.
If I play the first FLAC I get a slight cutout at the exact same point (29 secs) in VLC. MP3 plays fine. CD Audio plays fine. FLAC through Quicktime plays fine.
2nd FLAC cuts out at 3:01 mark.
