Damaged MP3 Files
Ardent
not play with any MP3 Player software, the sound is garbled with lots
of clicks but the music can also be heard in bits among the noise.
Strangely Media Player Home Cinema players them perfectly.
While playing with MPC-HC I recorded the stream in MP3 format and the
resultant file now players with any MP3 Player.
However it is very laborious to convert the numerous songs longs like
this. Is there any freeware that can do the repair?

Many thanks for your time and advice

That is saying to me, they are not MP3 files.

Copy & paste a small number ( or the whole lot ) of the files into a
seperate folder, you can then experiment & not lose any of your files.
Now run this program & see if it will convert to MP3, it will do
batches.

Hi John
The files are certainly MP3 and is playable without any problem with
ONLY Media Player - Home Cinema.
The conversion with dBpowerAMP Music Converter does not work as it
creates new file that is as bad as the original.
I have a doubt that this old HDD was NTFS and was indexed and then
unindexed etc. Perhaps somethign has been done to the files which only
MP-HC understands and decodes properly.
For example one of the original files was 7,840,274 b while the
re-recorded file (streaming) is 7,540,736 b
Any more ideas?

Anyway thanks for your interest and response

It might sound choppy and give the impression that chunks of music data
are missing but I can't see how this could be due to corrupt entries in
the NTFS index for this music file.
Your problem is more likely due to which codec is used when you replay
the file. Your MP3 player could be using the wrong codec or maybe a
poor quality one. Media Player anticipates this by having built-in
codecs.
Untangling codecs can get messy. Applying a codec pack may solve it or
may make it worse and affect more music players. If it was me, I would
work on fixing only the one troublesome MP3 codec which is being used by
your software player.

Haven't used MP3 Diags for the reasons you have but, it might be worth a
try. It's cross-platform & open-source.

heres a wild guess..
get mp3directcut (scroogle for it- its freeware) and open the file.
then under file - save all audio.
if there is a message about sync, just open it again and resave untill
all the errors are gone. this has worked for me on some files

Hi HB
Many thanks for your generous offer.
Howevr, Eureka!, I found the following
http://www.sofonica.com/downloads/FreeVideoAudioConverterSetup.exe
which re-encoded the MP3 straight away and the resulting file could be
played in any of the MP3 players I have installed in my system.
I thank all of you who responded and I do hope that the above link
will help some here - it appears to be very versatile converter doing
more than what I had occasion to use at present.

As the original MP3s were not corrupted your recoding probably changed a
setting (such as VBR) that your player doesn't support.

HB, I liked your idea to > upload one of the smaller MP3s, I was going
to suggest similar, by uploading the file to a public site, so we all
could check it out.
The interesting point that I see, is that Media Player Home Cinema
works.
Franklin's theory > "Your problem is more likely due to which codec is
used when you replay the file. Your MP3 player could be using the wrong
codec or maybe a poor quality one. Media Player anticipates this by

Another possible, is that Media Player Home Cinema had priority of the
codecs.

The poster wrote: "Strangely Media Player Home Cinema players them
perfectly". The audio files can be replayed properly. The problem is in
the replay chain.
> Most players support VBR these days...even my MP3 players do!
Who knows how old his player is or what it can't handle: non standard
bitrate, unusual sampling frequency, VBR, type of stereo, dropped
frames, whatever.
Recoding MP3s is a not a great solution because quality will be lost. I
would have looked for a better codec.

Nice to hear someone wanted to give it a try although I can't see what
they expected to happen. It's not as if a website just runs any file it

Hummingbird, post the malware in a zipped file so we can all share it.

I don't know why you would run any executable which a stranger had

There was a problem with my machine so I could not upload the file to
your site yesterday. I have now uploaded the file here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/154478072/327bdf26/sample.html
The file is named Dido-My Life.mp3 but for uploading I changed it to
sample.mp3
Now it plays bad in Goldwave, CoolPlayer, Simple etc but ok in MPC-HC
So now let us have your analysis.

Looks like Hummingbird got Ardent's bad file and he's already decided it
was from me. McAfee says Ardent's file contains W32/GetCodec.
"asks the player to connect to a remote URL to download the required
codec. Instead of a codec the location contains a Trojan which is then
downloaded an installed on the system."
Foobar doesn't play it properly unless it's extension is changed to WMA.
This link might explain what's going on.

What anti virus are you using HB?
Mine & Franklin's find the infection, which changes the MP3 to WMA ( as
per Franklin's post )
I would also run the 2 other tools in my 1st post. Make sure
Malwarebytes & SuperAntiSpyware are updated before using.

Nice try Hummingbird but you're not really persuading me that I

you no longer have it. Nor have you provided any of that log data you

Media Player Classic may have been playing the file correctly but the
file wasn't being played as an MP3.
MPC probably sensed that the audio data inside the file was WMA and
switched into playing it as a WMA.
On the other hand Ardent's failing app probably played the WMA file as
if it was an MP3 which messed up the sound. Foobar has the same
problem. If you rename the file's extension to WMA then Foobar will
play it ok.

I didn't mean to hurt you. I mean, I wouldn't wish falling for hummingbird
on the rebound, on my worst enemy.
Well I would actually. Cos I'm a complete bastard.
That aside. It looks like Bear Bottoms is history. Hurrah!
As you will remember I only uncloaked from behind my killfiles to ask him
to shut up, before hummingbird took a shine to my arse.
Anyway, the tyranny is over. You and hummingbird are easy to killfile, cos
you're just not in BB's class troll wise. You have to get lots and lots of
people to reply to you. <just a tip> <cat snigger> so bye <pooh waves in a
wanker gesture>

See you around.
Btw, that raw nerve I hit, killfile, really, was it *that* raw?
Remember, it was $Pricelessware$ who kicked you to the curb...first.
I hope you stay around. You do an excellent job of forging the Goons,
that I give you credit for.

Oh, and that John Fitzsimons thing, very kewl, you laid the jelkly beans

Too bad you couldn't take advantage and move into the WebMeister's role.
It was a nice, failed game plan.

No I'm not. I've been testing freeware. Done 9 firewalls so far.

Hello Hummingbird. You didn't convert the audio data. What you did was
alter the three letters of the file type.
When you wrote "the file arrived as an MP3" what you mean is that it
arrived labelled as an MP3. It was actually a WMA all the time.
> Nothing tried to "change the file from MP3 to WMA" as that article
> cut/pasted by Franklin says
The article I linked said the virus would convert MP3 files to WMA. I'm
not clear how wholesale conversion from MP3 to WMA could be done
surreptitiously on a user's MP3 collection but Christoph Alme of Secure
Computing seems to have said that.

I didn't get a pop up either and I used WMP. However you can see an
unexpected URL in the file's metadata (http://www.delit.net). I can't
find the jpeg you identified.
In the past I've had several WMA files which attempt exactly the same
trick to get approval to connect to an unknown site.

I'm with you Franklin, also the download site say's it has a virus.

Avast picked it up as soon as I started the download.

The Virustotal results posted by Dave U. Random, list the programs that
pick up the virus.

Looks like there was nothing to it, a Google by David W. (thanks to
Stubby) and a few posts, whoooosh, fraud exposed, canned and completely
screwed over.
I really thought the part where Fitzsimons slapped women around, nearly
crippled a couple and cashed out the life savings of more than one was a
real eye opener. Of course, the $Pricelessware$ Goons needed a con man
for their con, *surely* they weren't so stupid to not have performed the
most rudimentary Google check on Fitzsimons.
<nyuk>
Jesus, they are not only bad at fraud, they can't pick the right frauds
to run their show.
<heavy laff>
So they end up with Ron May, Dickwad and Craigee is right hand cock
stroker.
<heavier laff>
And Stubby to do the phpanalysis until they kicked his ass out fro
turning Immense Troll.
<heaviest laugh>
It's like the Calling Of the Doofi.

After viewing numerous Wimad trojan media files, they are really junk files. Many just
using sex in Social Engineering.
A big culprit a couple of years ago was Zango/180Solutions.

Didn't know that. He was embedded and a functioning part of a criminal

What a shame. Better go check on your Mother, he may be attaching a few
