It's been said that mp3diags can be used to repair MP3 files. There's an old file that plays fine on Windows, but I noticed that something wasn't right because it would not let me edit properties like the title on Explorer (although iTunes could).
I installed it on Ubuntu WSL with sudo apt install mp3diags (1.5.01-1build1). I run it as follows:
mp3diags file.mp3
And I can see several errors, including:
- WARNING: ID3V2 tag has an APIC frame (which is used to store images), but the image couldn't be loaded. [0]
- WARNING: Error loading image in APIC frame. The frame is too short anyway to have space for an image. [27]
- ERROR: Invalid MPEG stream. Stream has fewer than 10 frames. [14627]
- ERROR: Invalid MPEG stream. Stream has fewer than 10 frames. [14642]
But I don't just want to see errors, I want to try to fix them. How do I do that?
Tried mp3diags --help and saw no option to fix. There's also no man page. The documentation seems focused on the GUI version. Same thing when I look it up online. I specifically want to use the command line. If there's an alternative CLI tool, would also be happy to know about it. Thank you.
