Description: MP3 Diags is a Qt GUI-based application that allows end-users to identify issues with their MP3 files, fix some of the issues and make other changes, like adding track information. It also lets you "look inside" an MP3 file.
It looks at both the audio part (VBR info, quality, normalization) and the tags containing track information (ID3.)
MP3 Diags has a tag editor, which can download album information (including cover art) from MusicBrainz and Discogs, as well as paste data from the clipboard. Track information can also be extracted from a file's name.
Another component is the file renamer, which can rename files based on the fields in their ID3V2 tag (artist, track number, album, genre, ...)

As i avoid to install sources, i do everytime an rpm.
Here is for Mandriva i586
http://www.mediafire.com/file/o3xmdzwzdxg/MP3Diags-0.99.02.016-1mdv2009.1.i586.rpm
OK, thanks. An RPM got built: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ciobi/Mandriva_2009/i586/
Can you have a look and let me know if there's something that should be changed?
You have added something in the spec file in the section Requires?
I cant install it it asks a dependancy of libboost_serialisation-mt.so.1.36.0
and it does nt exist (with this name) in mandriva's (2009.1) repositories
I ve found only these packages :
libboost-devel
libboost-static-devel
libboost1.37.0
libboost1.38.0
It looks like my rpm is for 2009.0 while you have 2009.1, so I guess that explains it. I tried to build for 2009.1, but I got a strange error; I hope to fix it soon.
The openSUSE-provided build for 2009.1 seems broken. I wanted to tell 2009.0 to use a newer Boost, but I don't think that is possible. It seems that 2009.0 has 1.34, 1.35 and 1.36, while 2009.1 has 1.37 and 1.38, so there's no overlap. So, sorry - currently I can't build for 2009.1.
Sorry, I meant the MP3 file. (I obviously have the CPP.) I'm pretty sure that this assert is triggered consistently by an MP3 file (or perhaps all the files in an album.) I was hoping that you can isolate such a file and make it available. Please let me know if you can't figure which file caused the crash.
I got the file. What was supposed to happen was for an "unsupported" note to get generated for the file, but there was a bug. Now I fixed the bug and went further and added support for the missing feature. The fix will be in the next version, of which the sources should be available soon, the Linux binaries in a few hours, while the Windows binary will have to wait until tomorrow.
I knew there were issues with some fonts, (due to a Qt bug, unless I'm missing something) but it turns out that on Ubuntu 9.04 most fonts cause problems. So I created a new release, which implements a workaround. There are also some other minor UI tweaks.
again Wow !
This seems to work fine with the Kubuntu 9.04.
The build with the Kubuntu 9.10 (alpha-1) did give: "DataStream.cpp:346: error: ‘sprintf’ was not declared in this scope". The solution was to add: "#include <cstdio>".
The 9.10 has GCC 4.4: http://www.cyrius.com/journal/gcc/gcc-4.4-include.
This is a fine application - thank you.
Thank you for your comment.
I installed GCC 4.4 on an openSUSE 11.1 and noticed that there is an issue with older Boost versions as well. I added the missing header and also made a note about Boost, in the documentation.

Can you send me your .spec file, so I can include Mandriva in the automatic build?
ofcourse! http://mandriva.pastebin.fr/5006

Not long after my previous comment I thought of 2 workarounds, then I implemented one of them, and now the build has finished. There is a 2009.1 rpm at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ciobi/Mandriva_2009.1/i586/ . Hopefully this will work.
Yes this one works fine !
When scanning the folder with the music after a while i have this error : Assertion failure in the file id3V2Stream.cpp, line 770:false
I'm pretty sure that it's an easy fix, but I need the file that triggered the assert. So, can you mail it to me or make it available somehow?
:) you can found it here : http://www.mediafire.com/file/y30ww2myk2y/Id3V2Stream.cpp

they are all the songs of a specific album for example this one http://www.mediafire.com/file/du5pq0ytyzy/anavisso.mp3
I got the file. What was supposed to happen was for an "unsupported" note to get generated for the file, but there was a bug.

thanks, very good news ! :)
need an Debian Lenny deb? Seraphyn
