hi, your tool is really great! only one thing i miss is a function to fix the problem with invalid bytes at end of mp3 files.
can you tell me if you plan to put this function in or how to fix the problem otherwise?
thanks very much in advance,

Invalid bytes at the end of files are practically never a real problem, so no, it is not currently planned.

mhm......can you tell me, why invalid frames at the beginning of an mp3 files are problematic?
and why your tool should fix them?
as a newbie in this topic i'd like to understand the difference and see the necessarity of fixing invalid frames at the beginning but not fixing invalid bytes at the end.
thanks,
tinobee

Some software players, and many hardware players, refuse to load an mp3 file it if has junk data in the beginning. On the contrary, junk data in the end of an mp3 file does normally not affect anything.
