Every one of my 45000+ MP3s came up with a lot of garbage according to mp3diags. I'd removed every APE tag I accidentally wrote and it seems, that I had even more of these v1 tags I accidentally wrote too! I removed those also. But still there are non stop garbages:
I'm thinking about doing a transformation on this list of only 9000 about songs here. Any recommendations what to do? It seemed like sorting (filtering) by everything with an ak (invalid MPEG stream) would be a good place to start. Transformation 1? Transformation 4?
Or select the "Remove unsupported streams" repair option from the hammer with the drop-down list, then refresh the list and see if the problems are gone.
The "streams" BTW have nothing to do with tagging - they are part of the payload data and were created by the encoder.
Mp3diags is telling me I have a lot of progressive JPEG covers. I tried to sort covers by mimetype (information dropdown in 'covers' column customizing). The problem is the column will not sort (apparently) by the various image/jpeg or image/png. SO I tried to filter, according to the filter in the following screenshot:
Please note that this is a warning and no real problem ... unless your player cannot cope with progressive jpgs.
The progressive format is a valid jpg format. It is just that some application developers took a shortcut and left out the handling for this picture type.
So if you see all the pictures in you players, leave it as it is.
Oh, and the filter has to follow a syntax as described in the documentation:
I looked at the mp3tag documentation for filter and search and decided I can't quite understand it. But that is ok since it seems I am done if jpeg progressive is not a problem.
I have made a long 2 or 3 hours of videos in dealing with the two programs, as I was tidying up some last stragglers over the last 20 hours or so, but it will have to be edited to remove a lot of parts. It seems there are not a ton of videos about this so I looked at it as a pretty good chance to make one.
There were many individual or small group filterable things to the right of the note for f and I really thought mp3diags was a great program. It would be good to integrate it with the mp3tag program (or rather integrate the mp3tag program into it) that would make it easy to find all the files in one note like 'jpeg progressives detected' just say show files in mp3tag. Perhaps a pro version add on for mp3tag that integrates mp3tag while creating a context menu dropdown when a files are selected in mp3diags. This would make it a snap to open mp3tag on those files only. Would be useful.
I also find myself making changes to a large group of files and then wanting to move only those files into the backups en masse...so if it's 800 files that got changed then those files could be selected in a list in windows explorer perhaps by doing a search or filter using the windows explorer. Or perhaps those files could drag the referenced items out of their locations including the folders that the referenced items are in , as a tree, to a created auxiliary folder for holding then copied into the backup locations. Someone has probably thought of this before but I haven't seen nothing like it.
I don't really understand alphanumeric substitutions for mathematical symbols and their use in programming code. Plus you said it's not possible to sort by jpeg right? So I see the Greater/Less/Equal/ part of the manual but it is beyond the scope of my training to interpret exactly in the context of the quotational instructions there exactly what it meant. I tried to understand. It would take a team of people to design the instructions, one with the technical background and one with the background in layman's terms that I have. Sadly this doesn't seem likely. If you want I can go thru and try to explain it, I get now that you meant to put in the word "LESS" but I didn't understand that when I was reading the instructions. For those without the background training in tech it can be hard to grasp at abstract expressions nested in instructions for, for example how to use double quotes.
No I don't really have a new topic if this isn't part of the original though I thought it could possibly be.
