I had the misfortune to have all of my MP3's deleted on a 320GB drive. I have an image of it after the fact. I have restored all of the files but there are a lot that are giving me grief.
I am very new to try to restore the MP3 files. All the songs seem to be there but they refuse to play.
1. A lot of the files refuse to play. I have used the "Repair MP3 option & removed the junk at the start, but they still either give me Blips or start then stop.
2. Quite a few have an error that states "MP3 info could not be extracted" & have no information at the bottom at all. I have tried to add a tag in Browse/Edit tags but it makes no difference.
When they start to play, the time is not shown at all. It says Buffering, gets to 100 % & stops.
I have a Hex editor & as I saw in one post, to try to remove the junk & that will usually do it but not these ones. I have used an "MP3 checker" and it gives me a lot of info about headers missing but it does not give me a hard copy, so once the program is closed, so is the info. The Hex editor tells me there is a ÏD3" at the start of the file.
3. I also tried to repair/add header using VBR but it says it has repaired them. I get errors saying they are not in "Sync" but the rowse/Edit page I have set on both & it tells me they are in sync. Who is lying?
The files are too big to send via this site & I am sure I have a 4 - 5 MB mail limit in one mail
Are you able to help, otherwise I will have to turf them.
Great tool but I need something to really work to get these back again.
Thankyou from a Newbie to MP3 repair

Your story of your repair attempts reinforces this theory.
