Hello everyone, I am new to MP3Tag and used it for the first time recently. I mainly added some album covers and fixed some missing tags. It all went very well and I was very happy with how my library looked afterwards. Unfortunately though, I discovered an issue that occurred right after I was do…

It's highly unlikely that Mp3tag corrupted your files. Get MP3 Diags and scan some of your files to see if any errors show up. Anytime you modify files with unfamiliar software you should create backups of the files just in case there's a problem.

Dont know about that. I mean they werent corrupted before I used MP3Tag, which makes it hard for me to believe that it was caused by anything else. The remaining unedited files that are located in the same folder are still working perfectly fine too. But yeah you are right, not creating backups was…

[image] distortedaudio: Dont know about that. I mean they werent corrupted before I used MP3Tag... You could also run mp3val (search machine will tell you where to get it) - this program shows files with problems and tries to repair them. (Claiming that MP3tag corrupted files with no further…

[image] distortedaudio: Anyways, I ran the program and apparently there are errors (as far as I am able to understand what it says at least). Is there some kind of log-feature so I can show you? You could post a screen shot. All of the errors have a corresponding fix. Again, make backups befo…

You should have a look at all the files as they all have different peculiarities, e.g. kimdracula has the errors: aa - two mpeg streams ah - different channel mode ak - invalid mpeg frame bc - frame count mismatch kc - unknown stream These are the serious errors. And that is a file from the s…

These are the fixes for those errors aa - two mpeg streams - 10 Remove multiple ID3 streams ah - different channel mode - not sure about this one, experiment ak - invalid mpeg frame - 5 Remove unsupported streams bc - frame count mismatch - try 13 Repair VBR if that doesn't work 14 Rebuild V…

Those "errors" are OK. The ea error just means you don't have an album cover in the file. an - you can ignore if you don't use normalization. bh - can be ignored too unless it causes a problem. Don't use Mp3val with MP3 Diags because they use different methods to repair VBR data. MP3 Diags and M…

Didnt help :frowning: . I applied mp3val and mp3diags for different folders now and neither of them changed anything in terms of restoring the original audio. Both programs fixed some errors though.
