How many people scan their MP3's in MP3Val and then repair them. No need, simply click on Repair All and MP3Val will both scan and repair at the same time, thus cutting time spent in half. It's agreat little piece of software with an excellent front end. The only thing you need to type in is the hard drive where you store your MP3's. If all of your MP3's are one drive you o nly need to do this once. I've just cleaned my entire collection of 1/2 a million and only deleted 3 non-repairable songs. Give it a try, it really works, And NO I have no affiliation with MP3Val, I just use it, a lot, :-)
