Processing non-damaged files with some of the repair options (e.g. the CR/LF fix option) can be potentially harmful to the files, and even though the program has very clear warnings and recommendations about these potentially dangerous situations, some people still just click away, processing their entire mp3 collection and corrupt some files. Then they send me very angry letters about their mp3s being corrupted, and that it is my fault, even though they just clicked by 10 warnings or so suggesting that they should really use the backup option. :(

Because of this I haven't added an include subdir option to the repair tools, so that it should be at least a little harder for careless people to corrupt their entire mp3 collection at once and then blame me.

I might add the include subdirs option to the non-potentially-dangerous repair options in a future update though, e.g. the VBR header repair. So please stay tuned...
