ramfree17 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 hi, can anybody recommend a utility for verifying the playability of audio files? i have two dvds worth of audio files (podcasts, music files, interviews, etc.) and i have found that some of the files have either become unplayable or have some areas that skips. as some of these files can last for more than an hour. playing them one by one is probably not a good idea. i just need something that will read and verify the files as much as the available processing power can give. thanks for any tip or links. ciao!

scarecrow Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 For MP3: http://checkmate.linuxonly.nl/index.html I guess there must be something analogous for ogg files, but this is just a guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarecrow Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) There's a beta version of MediaInfo for Linux available (CLI version), I see: http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/el/Download So far I've only used this one under windows, and its good.

ramfree17 Posted October 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 i am a technologist so i will use whatever is available without having os bias. the data (and implicitly the information) is more useful to me rather than idealism. :) thanks for the link. :) ciao!

pindakoe Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I found this an extremely handy tool when I was still using Windows: Encsoft link. I also used a program called mp3trim to remove empotty space from the end, but cannot find a link.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
