For some MP3 files, it is necessary to read a sample of audio frames to compute the track duration. if MinimServer detects audio corruption while doing this, it will produce the messages you have seen. In all other cases, MinimServer doesn't read or check the audio data in the file.

Bummer... so, is there an open source package that *does* do audio corruption detection? Because I could whip together a program that could be called from my sync program, that I use for backing up.

Just curious if you know of something that works well.

Thanks for the quick response,

Yes, Foobar2000 will allow you to scan your library for corrupt files. Foobar is also a player so you can immediately check things and it will allow you to export the report to Excel.

Also, Illustrate's PerfectTunes will scan your library not only for corruption, but also on whether the rip was bitperfect (on losless files only), metadata completeness, and track duplication.
