Hallelujah! I agree and I'm very glad to see you guys are interested
in this. FLAC files apparently calculate and save a checksum
automatically with every file. Maybe that should be used so
calculation isn't even necessary. This obviously won't do anything
for MP3 or OGG files but they're lossy anyway and a checksum concept
would never work with them.
