Thread: Check your music collection...

Im sure many people know when moving large amounts of data from one drive to another can sometimes lose data, and files will become corrupt. It happend to me once when I was moving 300GB of flac music to a different logical drive. You could just use a md5 checksum prog for that, but this handy tool also checks for errors with in the tracks of MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, WavPack & Monkey's Audio files.

Here's the link to "Audiotester" vuplayer.com

It's very simple, just start the prog and drag the master folder of your music collection in the window, doesn't matter how large it is. Then go grab something to snack on and check the results later:)

If you are worried about corruption, the best thing to do is copy the files, then run a program that compares files. There are plenty of checksum/hash calculators available that will do the trick.

Yes of course, this tool also checks for errors in MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, WavPack & Monkey's Audio files.

Cool, thanks!
I'm checking mine right now!

I had two errors out of 6,224 flacs :P

thank you, i knew about programs that check the files but i didnt knew that there was one that also check audio errors.

^ If you guys find any errors in your tracks, try loading the album back up in your client and do a force re-check in case you missed a few bits...if that doesn't fix it report the torrent to the tracker you got it from :)

That's news to me Rob........thanks for the info........is this the case with image files too?

Wow thats a handy tool,I have got some really old trackers lying in the corners of my Hard Drive lol;Thanks for the share mate
