Solved: Utility to Verify Files Are Readable?
hello,

Both my Copernic desktop search and X1 desktop search when indexing my collection of OTR MP3s crashed my system. I assume that both of them reach a file which is malformed and not being able to process it close everything. Unfortunately they do not provide an error log.

I hope there is a utility which will test the files and record any file that is irregular.

If you know of such a product I would appreciate your sharing the information.

Thank you

Run MP3Test and it will show you which mp3's have errors and what type of errors. The program is a free trial and when 30 days are up you can still use it but with a nag screen.

Most errors are from garbage at the front or the end of the file. You can usually fix them with mpTrim, however the free version only lets you edit one file at a time.

If you have a lot of files to fix try MP3 Repair Tool.
