MP3 Scan+Repair for Mac OS X release 1.1
A new version of the audio repair tool MP3 Scan+Repair (release 1.1) is available now. This utility (named MP3 Validator for OS X during the beta phase) will check and repair your MP3 audio files. This is especially useful to fix problems with more recent iTunes versions.
MP3 Scan+Repair works on Intel and PowerPC running OS X 10.5 Leopard or 10.4 Tiger.
Improvements in this version include:
- Drag and Drop support from the iTunes window
- Runs faster with less I/O demand
- Skips files with fatal errors on repair now.

WORKED GREAT FOR ME! A+!
WORKED GREAT FOR ME! A+! THANK YOU THANK YOU!
fixed another album!
I was wondering why iTunes never played certain mp3s, and then i discovered they had never been added to my library. They just would not take. Scan & Repair found and fixed MPEG stream errors in every file, saving the day. Thanks!

LIFE SAVER
Ive been going crazy for months because I couldnt import some of my files into ableton. This is a great program. Thanks for making it!
That was a beautiful
That was a beautiful experience! Thanks so much, it fixed my favorite song with no trouble at all! <3
Broken beyond repair
Andy, if you want upload the song to some hoster and send me the link. I'll have a look. Maybe I can teach MP3 Scan+Repair to fix a new kind of error :)
Doesn't work for me.
Tried dragging a song into Itunes after hammering it and nothing imported.
Great Application
Thank you very much for a great invention. It solved all my ID tag problems very quickly and efficiently. The interface was also very easy to use. I'm more than happy to make a donation after all the time and money you have saved me. The only suggestion I would make would be to maybe consider adding other file formats like wma.
That solved it!
Thanks zany, right you are. Wiping and rebuilding the tags fixed them. Thanks for the help.
Both ID3v2 and ID3v1 in one file
Josh, the file you sent is without errors. Your ID3 tagging apps might get confused because there are both ID3v2 and ID3v1 tags present. Here are versions with one or both tags stripped. Please let me know if that fixes the problem — I’ll add a feature for that then.
Problems with ID3 tags
Hi zany, I received some mp3s that do not retain changed ID3 tags. Scan+Repair reported problems with two of them and said they were fixed, but the issue remains with all of them. As soon as they are played, or removed and readded to the library, the old tags return. (file removed)
Great!
This worked perfectly for me! Thank you!
Great Software
Hi,
Thanks for this excellent software its fixed over 75% of my 10,000 strong MP3 library. Without it I could not use my media streamer to listen to my music.
Thanks!
Import problems
Andy, what did the text say when scanning the files? Any serious errors? If not it should work otherwise I'll try to analyze and fix it. Please upload an example broken file (before repairing, perhaps from the Trash) and send me the link.
Doesn't work for me.
I cannot import MP3s into my Itunes even after "repairing" them with your software. Tried dragging a song into Itunes after hammering it and nothing imported.
