Testing for Screwy MP3 files
« on: February 15, 2005, 09:47:05 pm »

I recently had a hd crash and was able to "recover" most of the files which were on the drive.  This drive had a lot of mp3 files on it and the majority of them seem to be intact, but there are several which are crapping out.

Does anyone know of  a utility (or perhaps a way within MC10) that can attempt a play (preview i suppose) of each file and log if the play was successful or not?  I could then refer to the text file to determine which files need to be re-ripped.

Well, I'll thank meself, mateys.  FYI:

Using MC10, I added the folder in question to the library and the corrupt files showed up w/o tags (all my stuff was previously tagged).  So created and exported a playlist of the tagless (corrupt) files, then did some quick spreadsheet work to condense the tracks it into a list of albums.

BTW, i _did_ try to repair these files to no avail.
