Super Dude posted:I just installed iTunes and added my music library, but I'm having a weird issue. Why have I suddenly lost 2.5 GB of music? I had this issue, and after some Googling found that the problem was that many of my MP3s were corrupted. I fixed the problems with the files using this: http://mp3val.sourceforge.net/ and following this guide: http://trevinchow.com/blog/2008/09/17/fix-for-mp3-songs-not-playing-in-itunes/ It fixed something like 3000+ of my 10000 songs, and afterwards they all showed up in iTunes. Hope that helps. thiazi fucked around with this message at 15:35 on Dec 13, 2008 |

ArgaWarga posted:Anything similar to this for OS X that doesn't cost $50? Thanks in advance! I believe that the third link down on this page http://mp3val.sourceforge.net/download.shtml can be used on the Mac - its the source code so you'll have to compile, and apparently it is command-line only. But there is also a Python GUI front-end file linked on that page so you could potentially also have a GUI for it. Don't know that I can help other than that.

Cuntpunch posted:Does iTunes log errors somewhere? I'm trying to add music to my library so that I can sync it with my iPhone and it seems like maybe half of all my mp3s just won't add. iTunes doesn't throw an error or otherwise complain it just sort of silently doesn't do anything. In some cases adding a particular artist will result in 1 of their albums being added just fine, while another albums silently fails. I had a similar problem a few years ago, and apparently it was due to corruption/errors in the mp3 files themselves which many other programs just ignore but iTunes crapped out on. I used mp3val (http://mp3val.sourceforge.net/) to scan and fix them, then had no issues adding them to iTunes.

Fox_Spy posted:Interesting, I kept running across the mac script when I was searching on this the other day, I'll have to setup the vbscript. Any more info on how the Windows VB script works? From my basic understanding it updates the date played and play count, which would be fine except I use "play count = 0" in my smart playlists to make sure I only get unlistened podcasts. If this updates the play count, then I don't think it will work for me. Too bad, because I too desire this functionality.

P0PCULTUREREFERENCE posted:This is probably a frequent question, but are there any recommended tools for fixing mp3s (particularly VBR mp3s) for Windows? I've had luck with this one in the past (it ended up fixing thousands of files that iTunes was just ignoring), but haven't used it recently: http://mp3val.sourceforge.net/

Kelly posted:Googling has led me to some suggestions around repairing the files via a scanner of some sort. This was buried earlier in the thread for someone else having a similar problem - I hope it works for you: thiazi posted:I had a similar problem a few years ago, and apparently it was due to corruption/errors in the mp3 files themselves which many other programs just ignore but iTunes crapped out on.
