[Suggestion] Find missing tag info (1 Viewer)

[spoonyluv]

Hi,
It would be useful to scan a folder of music files and find those that are missing tag info such as artist, album and genre and would therefore be categorized incorrectly when imported.

Thanks.

You can already do that.

in the Treeview, you'll see a filter Tab.
Select it and check the "Use Tag Filter". With the mouse in the Grid below press the "Ins" - Key or right click to select "Insert Filter" from the context menu.

Then select "Artist" or whatever field you like from the combo and leave the Filter field empty.
Now press F% for refresh and the filter is applied. it will list only files with an empty artist.

if you enter "!" (without quotes of course) into the filter field, it'll list files which have an artist.

Thanks! that's awesome, great work on the filter features.

I'm now running into an unhandled exception crash when its scanning my entire music collection. Seems to happen on the same file number each time, how can I find out which file is causing the problem?

Below is the exception info if it helps,

Thanks again

grab an updated installation from here

it captures the exception and tells you, which file is in error.
Please upload the file to a free file hoster and pm me the link.
i would love to have a look at this file.

 

[spoonyluv]

I have figured out which files are causing a crash. I've located three albums so far that crash the program, but can't find anything special about them.

Perhaps this is a bug that can be fixed? let me know if you need information about the files.

I PMed a link to one of the files.

 

[hwahrmann]

THe file you've uploaded has 2 Comments inside.
the second comment is not aligned to a Word boundary, so i'm running out of index.
this is an error, which should be fixed by taglib-sharp.
will see what i could do

 

[spoonyluv]

Great, thanks.

Out of curiosity, how would I see these comments? When I look in Windows explorer or in another MP3 tag editor, the comments field is blank on all the tracks that are having issues?

 

[hwahrmann]

yes, looks like the other tag editors skip those comments.
I can read one of them, but on the second on i'm failing.

both comments are UTF-16 encoded and contain Asian characters (Chinese, Japanse, or whatever).
This isn't the problem, but the second comments contains 1 byte too less and this is causing the troubles.

the only way to look at them is using a hex editor. they're somewhere around 340 bytes into the file starting with COMM.
if you remove everything starting (and including) the first COMM until APIC starts, then you wil be able to read the file.
i was also successfull by just adding 1 byte to the second COMM frame.

another quick solution, until i could fix the issue, would be to use another tag editor, which doesn't fail and remove the ID3 V2 tag and retag it.

 

[spoonyluv]

oh wow, that's a little too ambitious for me. Do you think you'll be able to work around this? if so, I'll probably just wait for a fix.

Thx.

 

[hwahrmann]

yeah, most probabl i can, but it'll take me some time.
for the time being, those files will be ignored and not shown in the list
