: This is the most crucial word for any collector. The presence of "Fixed" in the file name suggests that the original uploader identified and corrected a flaw in a previous version of the discography. This could be anything from a track that was corrupted during the initial rip, incorrect metadata (e.g., wrong album year or misspelled song titles), or a track that was accidentally sourced from a lossy MP3 and upscaled to FLAC (a "transcode").
