Some Problems Are At The Last Frame Of The MP3
MP3 Utility Does Not Check The Last Frame So This Could Cause A Problem In One And Not The Other.
MP3 Utility Does Not Do As Good Of A Job As Helium 2 In Detecting Bad Frames.
When I Was Downloading MP3's I Always Used Both And Deleted Any That Came Up As Bad.
I Do Not Know The Inner Workings Of The Programs, I Just Know That Helium Works Better.
Both May Miss Some Bad Frames That You May Hear When Doing A Playback Of The MP3
>> a new release hasnt been posted in a while wondering if you knew why
No, I Have Not Even Checked.
One other low tech way to check for a bad MP3 is, does it have an ID3v1 Tag? If Not It May Be Bad Due To The Fact That Part Off The File Was Cut Off And Since The ID3v1 Tag Is At The End Of The File You Can Asume The File is Not Complete (Not Always True).
