What is MP3val?
MP3val is a cross-platform software tool that verifies the integrity of MPEG audio files, including the popular MP3 format, and can fix most identified issues. It can detect and correct problems in audio files, such as those caused by incomplete downloads or file truncation. The tool supports various MPEG versions and layers, as well as common metadata tag formats like ID3v1, ID3v2, and APEv2. At its core, MP3val provides a command-line interface, and there are also two graphical frontends available: MP3val-frontend for Windows and mp3valgui, a multi-platform Python script. The Windows-specific frontend is the recommended option for users on that platform, as the installation of the cross-platform Python-based frontend can be more complex
