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

Re: Corrupted files after Perfect Tunes scan

Hey shunternz,

However, I can find the files and they play fine...so are not corrupt.

even if the files play fine, they can be corrupt. Some errors can't be heard (minor defects in forma), some can hardly be heard and some can clearly be heard. That perfect tunes finds 77 corrupt files in your case repeatedly, is no issue of perfect tunes, but a clear sign, that 77 files are corrupt.

I don't want to delete. How to I address this issue please?

You don't have to delete them. In case of minor defects in format, you can try to convert them and fix the defects. In case of defects in the audio data you have to re-rip those CDs.

Re: Corrupted files after Perfect Tunes scan

I have recently acquired perfect tune and after the first scan of my music file I ended up with 77 corrupt files. I cleared the cache and after another scan I end up with 77 corrupt files. However, I can find the files and they play fine...so are not corrupt. I don't want to delete. How to I address this issue please? Thanks.

Re: Corrupted files after Perfect Tunes scan

check your hdd first for errors

Then re-rip. To replace the ones with errors.

Thanks Spoon
If I re-rip again tracks corrupted files, did have I a chance that all flac files could be OK after or not ?

Re: Corrupted files after Perfect Tunes scan

HDDs can corrupt files, once corrupted it is not possible to repair the file, the information has been lost.

Re: Corrupted files after Perfect Tunes scan

Good day,

I don't know why but two days ago I have done a scan with only 7 corrupted files in my library.

Today, there is 38 of these corrupted files !

All flac files are stored on a HDD.

1) why a flac file which was OK by the past became suddendly corrupted ?
2) How to repair a corrupted file ?

Thanks for your usual help

Re: Corrupted files after Perfect Tunes scan

1) Bring just those files reported as corrupted
2) Depends on the file type
3) Run the main PerfectTunes application and there is a clear cache button
4) No

Also update to the latest perfecttunes version released today 1.7

Thanks!

Re: Corrupted files after Perfect Tunes scan

Spoon,

1) Isn't bringing files to the local computer impractical? I have over 12,000 files that fill a terabyte of a network attached storage. Is there any other alternative to determine whether files reported as corrupted by Perfect Tunes are in fact corrupted?

2) When you convert a file using "test conversion", if it doesn't report an error, does that mean the file is not corrupt?

3) How do you clear the cache in Perfect Tunes in order to eliminate the reported corrupt file errors caused by changes to album art on a subsequent re-run of Perfect Tunes?

4) Is there any way to filter the results of Perfect Tunes to not display Mp3, M4a and hi def (e.g. 24 bit) files as albums that cannot be checked?

Re: Corrupted files after Perfect Tunes scan

It is likely a network error which makes them appear as corrupted, try bringing the files to the local computer if possible.

Re: Corrupted files after Perfect Tunes scan

Your files are on a network share?

Indeed they are.

Re: Corrupted files after Perfect Tunes scan

I have exactly the same issue, I have 2965 files corrupted apparently ( I cancelled it after it was running for 6 days as it was not even 1/4 of the way through it ) my library is 65k tracks., I have selected 20 at random and ran the "test conversion" which worked without errors.

All the 20 files I selected also play without issue and no blips or anything.

Am I going wrong, I am a little concerned that a fair chunk of my music library has issues.
