During my 4 am surfing I found the following (a post where someone by the user name of djterrytucker on the djeforums.com site gave instructions on how to fix corupted files in ITCH. I simply cut and pasted the information from that forum and have put it here for our use.

"Tutorial: How to fix corrupt files with Serato Itch
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
I'm not sure if this is old news now, but I finally figured out how to fix the corrupt file problem with Rane Serato Itch....without having to delete songs with the broken records next to them. You definitely do want to fix this problem. They will cause crashes and/or audio drop-outs.

I recently upgraded from the Denon DNHC4500 to the Denon DNHC5000 (which comes with Serato Itch). I used PCDJ DEX with my first controller, but came to realize that Serato Itch is a much more professional program than DEX (even though I loved using DEX and other PCDJ programs for the past 5-6 years). The only problem with ITCH was that about 5% of my songs came up as corrupt and were labeled with a broken record next to them.

I searched forums for days and couldn't find any good solutions....so here is what I did that worked very well:

1) Download GoldWave

2) Sort your songs by clicking the most left tab (so all the corrupt files are grouped)

3) Create a new dummy crate in serato and drag all of the corrupt files in

4) Sort those by bitrate

5) Make folders for all of the common bitrates: 128, 160, 192, etc. Then drag in all the 128's (or close to it) from serato directly into the 128 folder you just created....and so on.

6) Open GoldWave. Click File -> Batch Processing.

7) Add all the files from one folder

8) Click convert to MP3, choose bitrate. (Although this isn't necessary) Go to the effects tab and add in the default noise reduction and clip/pop filter. Go to the folder tab and click over-write file...and begin.

9) Replace the original files with the newly cleaned ones.


They say this can cause the songs to loose some quality, but first of all, I didn't notice any. Second, even if it was slightly worse quality....that is MUCH better than having drop-outs or a crash during an event.

If you do still have your original CD's, you can reripp them to avoid losing quality, but that can take forever to do if you have a lot of songs."

Hope this helps
