Re: Another find

Also, would you include details about what other applications you have edited those tags with or opened your media with?

Thanks,

Dale

Scott,

Would you mind sending me a few (no more than 3 or 4) of the ID3 backup files created from my backup program? I'm always looking for information on how ID3 files are broken so I can improve how my ID3 tools deal with broken tags.

Email them to me at dales123ngaddy456 but strip out all of the numbers, then add the at symbol and then hotmail and then dotcom.

Thanks,

Dale

I think I've found another issue with my library. For some reason, some of my MP3's (ok, alot) somehow now have malformed ID3 tags. When the library monitoring hits this, it stalls and then CPU usage skyrockets.

I've found a tool at http://dalepreston.com/Blog/2007/01/removing-id3-tags.html that strips all of the ID3 information.

After running this and taking out all of the ID3 tags, my mediaplayer is now running good once again. Now I need to go back and get the ID3 info added back. Ugh!
