Jim,<br><br>Thanks so much for taking a look at that. I suspect my other files have corruption issues of some kind also. I have no idea how TagLib# reads files like this but it somehow always manages to pull it off.<br><br>
I think I am going to incorporate warnings into my program about files with bad headers, as it seems to be only about 1 in 1,000 in my library.<br><br>James<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 4:08 PM, Jim <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jmartin92@comcast.net">jmartin92@comcast.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
I managed to take a look at the file you made available. Unfortunately I wasn't<br>
able to correct the zero length/bitrate problem. I was able to get TagLib to<br>
read the file properly. (It was originally falsely detecting the beginning of a<br>
frame but that was easy to fix.)<br>
<br>
However, that file has a bad Xing header. Or rather, the Xing header is valid<br>
but the values that it contains seem impossible. The reason you are getting a<br>
bad file length is because the Xing header says there is only one frame in the<br>
entire file. So 1 frame at 44100 Hz sample rate would mean less than one second<br>
in length. I am not sure if this is the cause for the other files you have.<br>
<br>
