I think I've asked this before, but I'm hoping that I may have missed a feature upgrade.
In a large collection of files, in a directory tree, is there ANY way of locating files with bad VBR records? You know, the ones whose length is shown in red in the Browse tab.
Failing that, is there a way to run the VBR repair on all the files in a directory structure?
Please?????

No, sorry, not possible right now.

Okay (sniffle).
I think that I can hack something that will rename all 110,000 or so .mp3 files into a single directory (can a directory have that many files? I guess I'll find out.), call m/t-s on them all, and then rename them back to their various directories and sub-directories.
The only potential problem are files with unusual characters in their names, as the version of LISP I have to work with sometimes garbles ANSI character codes.
Messy, but I can't think of anything else for the moment. Any ideas, anybody?
