Hi,

Here is one of the files : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/117560/02%20John%20Coltrane%20-%20Soul%20eyes.m4a
Anyway, I found it nice that jriver detected this file was bad, since I was able to re-rip it.
If you make jriver able to import this kind of bad file, it could be nice to still detect the "bad" format of the file.

Côme

JohnT:
Thanks, we'll take a look at this file.

I did some testing on the file.  MC detects some inconsistencies and rejects it.  The error detected is that among a total of 3509 chunks of audio data, the last 35 chunks simply do not exist in the file.  The chunk offset table entries for those chunks point to file locations that are not valid for audio data.  Besides that, the last two minutes or so audio data that supposedly do exist in the file do not play.  VLC crashes right after it played to 3:17 mark.  Quicktime and WMP play the file to the end, but from 3:17 to 5:25 they output mostly silence and occasional loud noises.

It is not a good idea for MC to try accepting files like this.

Hi,
You are right. At first, I though it was just an issue with the tag headers.
I prefer this behavior to iTunes, too.

Thanks for your help
