MP3 Validator for Mac OS X

Fantastic - been trying to back up friends Macbook - timecapsule crash till found erroneous files using this - all tickety boo now many Thanks

It worked like a charm! I was trying too many ways to import some songs into iTunes but none would work. And then, after I used this app, everything is fine!

THANK YOU!

Hey Christian- I'm having some difficulty retrieving my music files since they were transferred onto my new computer from my fried laptop. When I drop my mp3's into the program, it says "ERROR: unknown file format". Am I doing something wrong, or do you think maybe the files got all wonky in the transfer process?

Only one word: Thank!!!
Grazie!!!

Vielen Dank! Dieses ding ist Super, aber meine Deutsch ist ein bisschen schwer. ;)

Many thanks! This thing did the trick! One song in my library (at this point) that wouldn't play in iTunes but played in absolutely everything else is now fixed and playing. YAY!

WOW.. F***** WOW.. had an album that was wired - wouldn't play in itunes... and with this app it got fixed.. and i didn't even read any manual :)

thanks for the free ride.. i owe a donation asap!

Thank you. You're a lifesaver. I am going to donate ASAP.

Awesome tool, but I've got a suggestion to make it just a bit more useful: have some way to be able to log which files are corrupt. A lot of the files I find that have problems are no longer complete -- they're only a fraction of their original length after being repaired.

I'd like a way to log which files have been fixed, so I can then go and re-rip or re-download them. A text log file would be okay, but another possibility would be creating a "Repaired files" playlist in iTunes.

Just a thought -- thanks for creating this program!

If I'm running Windows 7 how can use this tool?

iTunes refused to add some of my MP3's, this application fixed them in a flash, thank you.

A suggestion, I see others posting about the same issue I had with the application, it wasnt very apparent what I needed to do once I dropped the mp3's into the application. Making a 'wizard' or just making the fix button more noticeable would be a vast improvement.

have been looking for a solution to this issue for quite a while... playback will skip to the next track at random times in itunes, and all other players (quicktime, quicklook, vlc and so on) will skip just a tiny bit and go on playing... i've had the same track corrupted, restored from backup and corrupted again (by itunes i suppose) at a different point through the track, but still it happens too randomly to detect a pattern..
anyway.. i dropped a problematic track into your triq, and indeed it found the errors (happens a few times in each track), but the little hammer only managed to bring the same behaviour to itunes, i.e. the tiny skips with a distinctive bitcrusher tone..
glad to see it works for everyone :| ANY advice would be greatly appreciated (you have my contribution to the beer fund in any case, great work!)
maximum tanzkraft!

Thanks a ton . Was looking for something like this have a lot of buggy files.

Drat — I already repaired the tags and emptied the Trash, and it all happened in between Time Machine backups.

I also can't remember which track it was, and the ones I've tried this morning seem to be preserving the ID3V2 tags.

I'll keep an eye out to see if it happens again, and let you know if it does :)

Ah, just noticed something rather nasty — my ID3v2.4 tags have been nuked from the repaired tracks, leaving the ID3V1 tags with the horrible 31-character track names. That's definitely wrong — I've lost all the info that wasn't supported by ID3V1. (Seriously, does anybody still use those? :)

Only had problem with one file, but I'm happy the program fixed it. Works like a charms, great piece of software. Thank you very much, Christian!
(Validator said it had garbage in the beginning, fixed it in seconds, wow!)

Worked like a charm, thanks so much. Usually I would have opened them all one at a time in Quicktime and save as, but that takes forever, and some of the files wouldn't even open in Quicktime. Like I said. Sweet! Donation on the way.

Awesome! Works like a charm, I'll be sure to let my friends know about this when they come across some faulty MP3s.

Thanks a lot, worked great!

Worked awesome, great application.

Thanks! I've been trying everything to fix this file and now it plays like a champ!
