i asked this a while back too. didnt get any decent answers.

It really depends on the type of corruption. That's why you can't get straight answers.

Serato can tell you what type of corruption your file has btw.

Question: When you drag the pointer over the crack, it shows you why the track is corrupt. However, it only flashes and I have to go over it a bunch of times to see whats wrong. It hasn't always been like that so what the hell?

Just fixed this on my friends PC. Took a while but I figured out what was causing the problem. Just follow these steps in this exact order: Click the Start Menu on the bottom left, Click Control Panel, Double-Click Add/Remove Programs, Scroll down to Limewire and click OK.

hahaha

It shouldn't just flash. It should stay on as long as you have the cursor over it.

lol thats hilarious

actually, and i'm being serious here. corruption is caused because i have 5 different programs on my laptop which ALL feel the need to write to my damn music files.

if you only have 1 program that writes to your files, fine. but when you have a bunch, it's a pain in the ass.

i'll never back off that one. serato and all the other dj programs should not be trying to write to my damn mp3s.

What programs do you use to overwrite the mp3 so the problem can be fixed?

It really depends on what's wrong with mp3. If they're a problem in the tag. Sometimes, stripping the tag and rewriting a new one works. If there's bit information missing, then you most likely have to re-encode.

All tracks that i create with Adobe Audition 2.0 using the Fraunhoefer (sp?) encoder come up as corrupt. The wavs that i export from Audtion wont even play it shows an empty file.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA



Brap!

I notice this a lot also. Sometimes it does it, sometimes it does not.



I wouldn't recommend Adobe for encoding mp3s. It uses "mp3pro" format, which always comes up as corrupt in SSL. As for the wav files, are you saving them as PCM wavs or ACM wav. Make sure it's PCM.

def PCM. The pcm wav files show up in ssl as not corrupt but there nothing in them. Can i get Lame into audition? I like doing everything in one program.

any corrupt MP3 that I own, I just open in in Adobe Auditions - make sure it plays and re-save it with a different name or as an AIFF if it is of high quality.

I found that on my computer I have Adove Audition, PCDJ red, Serato and the Pioneer DJ Program. 3 of them add some sort of coding to my files, when i try to play anything played through Pioneer DJS1 software, they load in Serato as corrupt. They cause serato to freeze and re-build the overview which takes for ever

Any new ways to fix corrupted mp3's. My corrupted file says it contains invalid audio data...

Re-Record the file with serato. I did the following,

-Record the song in serato (I used the TTM-57)
-Adjust the sound to your liking.
-When done recording, make sure you analyze the new track.
-Then delete the OG corrupted file from your computer.

Get a un-corrupted replacement track.

or use iTunes to convert to AIFF

Mp3 scan & repair ( might be for mac only)
or
use audicty or soundforge ,wavelab to recode (save as another file )

I asked this question a while back and didn't get decent answers. I had about 150 corrupt files and converting them individually seemed daunting. There is a program called platinum notes where you can get that you can literally drag all of the files at once and re-convert them as a big batch to either wav or mp3. I then dragged the new files in serato and hey presto, they didn't show up as corrupt. However, i'm not ENTIRELY sure whether this method completely uncorrupts the files. Nonetheless they DID show as uncorrupt in serato. What do you think Konix?

+1... Solid method. Anything else would be uncivilized.

Doesn't Platinum Notes take your MP3 and converts another MP3 version of the same file. I don't like re-compressing an already compressed file.

You can choose between wav and mp3

mucho gracious, re-convert in itunes it is..

for Audition just make sure you uncheck "include markers and other metadata"
