MP3 Diags Scans and Repairs Your MP3 Collection [Downloads] - 4834th Edition

Window/Linux: Fixing a tag here and there is one thing, but what if your MP3 collection is in need of a deep and serious massaging to get things in order? MP3 Diags lets you dig into the guts of MP3s.

The creator of MP3 Diags was frustrated with how limited many of the MP3 repair tools he used were and how many of them used tags incorrectly or inserted their own tags into the MP3s. MP3 Diags is a powerful MP3 editor that not only allows you to diagnose and fix surface problems with your MP3 collection such as incorrect track numbers or song names, but it digs even deeper and enables you to repair things like problems with the VBR header and other hidden but important aspects of your music collection.

While we were impressed with MP3 Diags we’ll slap the same kind of warning on it that we would a program that helps you modify your Windows Registry. Make sure you read the instructions carefully before mucking around in your collection and a backup before doing any heavy editing is strongly recommended.

If you’re a bit hesitant to mess around with MP3 Diags but you’d really like to get at least the albums, song names, and tracks cleaned up in your collection you definitely want to check out previously reviewed iTune’s add-in Tune Up.

MP3 Diag is freeware and available for Windows and Linux.
