MP3-Check examines your music collection, tells you what's wrong with it
by Brad Linder May 18th 2008
Got a few thousand MP3s in your music collection with missing or incorrect ID3 tags? MP3-Check won't fix them for you, but it will let you know what's missing. It's a light weight utility that can process large amounts of information quickly and let you know if your MP3 files:
-
Are missing ID3 tags
-
Don't meet your bit rate or sample rate requirements
-
Are stereo or mono
-
Meet a specified volume threshold
MP3-Check also lets you choose third party tools to associate with the program so that, for example, when you find an MP3 with no ID3 information you can right click on it to launch your favorite ID3 tag editor. If your ID3 tags aren't just missing, but are actually wrong, you might want to check out a tool like MusicBrainz which will compare your files with an online database and try to find the correct metadata.

Its a shame that it doesn't tell you that your music is just bad.

MediaMonkey can do the same thing by filtering out bad ID3 tags into missing artist, missing album, missing genre, etc. and then lets you fix them using Amazon.
To hell with these frivolous 3rd party tools. All I need is MediaMonkey and MusicBrainz Picard.
