Possible bug? Analyze audio, corrupt files.
« on: June 06, 2009, 01:17:17 pm »

Using mc13, decided to run analyze files. I have over 30,000 mp3 and wma files. During the analysis MC13 locked up, failed to respond. I left it for a while, hoping it would recover. It did not.
I gave it the three finger salute and restarted. After restart I noticed that hundreds of the wma files that were fine,would no longer play in any player. Looking at these files in windows explorer, they no longer had any tag information, just filenames. Lucky I had my backup and restored all the bad songs. The back up was done the day before and they were all ok.

I don't see how the lockup could have corrupted all those songs but it did. Played fine before, not after.

Any ideas about this,

Ps, I know I should have done a lot less files at a time.

Reminder to all, backup your stuff :)

Audio analysis should be a very safe operation.  It decodes the file, and then depending on the file type, may update the tags.

If you think Media Center has some particular problem with certain WMA files, perhaps you could email a sample to matt at jriver dot com.

Thanks and sorry for the problem.
