do NOT allow corrupt files to be played?

I think this is probably going to be highly debatable, but I'm wondering if it's in Serato's interest to not allow a corrupt file to be loaded.

I understand that when a file has it's overview built and is in-fact corrupt, it has the broken icon. However, I'm wondering how many people ignore the warning, play it anyways, have a resulting crash when they knew the file was corrupt, and then post a help request because Serato crashed on them and totally killed the vibe.

So, for the sake of increased stability, and also protecting against user-error, should known corrupt files be "banned" from Serato's decks?

If they decide to add this, please only optional.

People who use corrupt files should be aware that it might crash.

But then... a stable software should handle those files fine. I cant remember a single mp3 which crashed winamp for me.

i always add the word "CORRUPT" to the end of the name of the track so that I know not to play it

in the previous 1.6 version there were like 30 tracks that were thought to be corrupt then in the new version it was only 3 and then i removed "CORRUPT" from the tag
