Corrupted files after Perfect Tunes scan

Re: Corrupted files after Perfect Tunes scan

Hi,

If I have a question regarding this issue then should I post it here? Or would it be better to start a new thread? I only ask because this thread dates back to 2014.

Many thanks,

Paul

OK, thanks Spoon. I just wanted to check first simply because the thread is a little dated.

Re: Corrupted files after Perfect Tunes scan

Hi,

I am currently ripping my 600 x CD collection to FLAC (using 'dBpa').

Yesterday I experienced an issue of which I have not encountered before. It concerns PerfTunes and 'corrupted files'. I ran a PerfTunes scan (as I do every so often) and it came up with 5 errors.

The scan took about 3 hours! (instead of the usual 10 mins).

All of the rogue FLACs (there are 5 of them to date) seem to play fine. All of the rogue files are ONLY on my SD-card (everything seems to be fine on my C-drive). I always rip to my C-drive first, and then transfer to the SD-card afterwards.

Now I have cleared the cache of PerfTunes and am at this moment running a fresh scan. The trouble is, it says it is going to take: 2 days & 19 hours!

I have an up-to-date version of PerfTunes. My files are NOT on a network share. I have run 'Test Conversion' for one of the rogue files (and no 'error' messages appeared).

Please see u/l screenshots & text-file via Drive:

Many thanks in advance for any kind assistance offered here.

Re: Corrupted files after Perfect Tunes scan

These files it identified, right click >> Convert To >> Test conversion, does dBpoweramp say they are corrupted?

Hi Spoon,

I just ran another TEST CONVERTER for you.

I assume, if there WERE any such 'corruption' of the file, then this/these would be displayed as part of the 'report' after the scan has completed (ie. like a pop-up message)? If so, no such pop-up message appeared in either of the scans:

However, PerfTunes lists them as being 'corrupted'.

Many thanks.

Hi Spoon,

I ran a PerfTunes scan last night on just the PC C-drive, and an external-HD (both of which contain identical FLAC files of my ripped CD collection - approx. 130GB). The SD-card (with the previously discussed 'corrupt' files on) was NOT plugged into the PC during the scan. Here are the results (the scan, for the C-Drive and external-HD, took about 3 hours):

I am guessing that, because the C-Drive and external-HD (ie. 'C' & 'F') are NOT appearing in the list of circa 3500+ 'corrupt' files that the FLACs on these two storage-devices are OK? I am not sure how/why the SD-card (ie. 'G') has the results for 3500+ files because the SD-card was not even inserted during the scan? Having performed a cache clear, it is the SD-card scan which PerfTunes approximates will take circa 2/3 days to complete.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi again,

Using the above version of PerfTunes for the SD-card FLACs, the scan did not estimate as taking 2/3 days. Instead, it completed the scanning process in the typical time-frame (not sure if this indicates anything?).

However, the results were that ALL the files (3500+), on the SD-card, are 'corrupted':

Re: Corrupted files after Perfect Tunes scan

And if you use Batch Converter, and convert all 3500 tracks from the SD drive to Test Conversion, no errors are shown at the end?

OK, I will try this ...

(It says the Test Conversion will take 2 hours ...)

Re: Corrupted files after Perfect Tunes scan

Hi again Spoon,

The Test Conversion of the SD-card has completed (4,000 files actually!). As far as I can see, there are no 'errors'? Please see screenshots:

Re: Corrupted files after Perfect Tunes scan

Something is stopping PerfectTUNES from reading the SD card, perhaps anti-virus? or security permissions?
