MPEG Error Correction
With MPEG Error Correction you can repair MP3s easely. MPEG file's internal data structure is based on frames.
One frame contains 0.026 secs of compressed audio data and it's size depends on the encoding quality.
Bigger bitrate means more space for storing the same sound data more precisly.
(For example in an average MP3 with a bitrate of 128kbps one frame is 418bytes long).
If one frame is corrupted for some reason, it can be repaired without hearable results as the final audio will be 0.026 secs shorter, definetly not noticable by the human ear.
The more demaged frames are in the file the more clicks and pops will apear in the resulting streamed MPEG file.
If you find an MP3 that is distorted when you play it, or it just suddenly stops in the middle of the song, it may be corrupted. To fix it Open the file, in Settings/MP3 check Use Error Correction when streaming MPEG. Select menu File/Save As....
Turning off Error Correction will gain some speed and you still get basic correction when sync is lost.
If you are sure the files you're working with are not corrupted it is advised to not use this option. You can simply check a Stream's integrity with the Bitrates graph!
However demaged MPEG's will be streamed faster with Error Correction turned on.
Repeat Frames: When bad frame is detected the prevoius valid one will be duplicated to keep the streams length. Useful for A/V sync.
This mode is only active when menu File/Save As... is used and is disabled when editing.
Command line options for quick repairing files:
-r Normal Error Correction
-R Error Correction with Repeat Frames on
Example: "MP3SE.exe -R C:\BadFile1.mp3 C:\BadFile2.mp2"
will output C:\BadFile1_Repaired.mp3 and C:\BadFile2_Repaired.mp2
