    Re: Corrupted files after Perfect Tunes scan

    I just ran PerfectTunes on about 50,000 FLAC files and no files showed as corrupted. In my case, the files are on a normal internal HDD in my windows computer. I suspect reading from the SD card is causing the issue???

    Windows could be treating the files on the SD card as being downloaded from an outside source (usually, that means the internet) and blocking them.

    Hi Garym,

    I have emailed MalwareBytes as I can't figure out how you DISABLE the s/w temporarily (in the latest version). I think you can only access the 'Advanced Settings' if you are a 'Premium' (ie. paid) customer.

    Hi JH,

    I have just brought my work laptop home with me this afternoon; so I will test the SD-card out on this device later ...

    Hi again,

    Just running PerfTunes on the SD-card using my work PC. It says the scan will take 2+ hours ...

    Cheers

    ... a newer version of MalwareBytes is available, so I am currently d/l it onto my regular PC.

    Question Re: Corrupted files after Perfect Tunes scan

    Hi,

    The completed scan - of the suspect SD-card on my work PC - reports nothing whatsoever in relation to any 'corrupted' files!

    Thanks.

    Re: Corrupted files after Perfect Tunes scan

    Hi,

    I have spoken to Microsoft this morning.

    They have suggested clearing the SD-card and starting over; but copying everything (now 130BG) with MalwareBytes disabled. They also advised me to edit the 'permissions' (ie. sharing) on the SD-card, which I have done.

    Once everything has been copied across I will re-run PerfTunes.

    Cheers.

    Question Re: Corrupted files after Perfect Tunes scan

    Hi,

    Having performed all of the above procedures, all FLACs on the SD-card are showing as being 'corrupted':


    Thanks.

    Re: Corrupted files after Perfect Tunes scan

    Try copying a file from the SD card to a location on your PC apart from the music folders and testing that. Is it still shown as corrupt?

    Hi JH,

    Thanks a lot. I am at my wits-end here!

    Please see screenshot relating to when I try to manipulate the file in any way:

    Question Re: Corrupted files after Perfect Tunes scan

    JH,

    I am just running a 'Binary Comparison' test between my C-drive and the SD-card. I use this s/w ('Beyond Compare') for all my back-up copying/transfers:


    It's going to take an hour and I want to leave the folders alone while it's running, if you know what I mean. But I will try your kind suggestion after, thanks.

    Paul

    Question Re: Corrupted files after Perfect Tunes scan

    Hi,

    'Binary Comparison' indicates that the contents of both FLAC folders are identical:


    Cheers.

    I tried this twice:

    Created a new folder on my desktop. Copied across (from the SD-card) a few albums. Then I ran PerfTunes. The only 'corrupt' files reported were (still) those on the SD, and NOT those in the desktop folder.
