Artwork Corrupts File

[jjonesfec]

Adding artwork to my mp3 files corrupts them such that they no longer play properly. The problem appears for but gif and jpg files.

I'm running Tagger 1.8.0.7 (566) on a Mac with OS X Yosemite v 10.10.1

Ahhhh! It killed 2 CDs and I have no backup!!! I only added a PNG, now they're beyond repair.

Are they mp3s? run mp3val -f *.mp3 to fix them.

Thanks for this fix, @Bilalh! I too have had many folders of MP3s corrupted by Tagger. Sometimes it seems that the artwork corrupts the files, other times it seems that the text-only tags corrupt them.

As the file corruption is caused by Tagger, what are the chances that this will be fixed?

I also have had MP3s corrupted by Tagger. I mistakenly thought this bug was fixed and recently added artwork to some MP3s; Tagger corrupted about half of them. I've been using Tagger for a while now and for the most part it's great, but this artwork corruption bug is bad. I recommend you remove the feature to add or change artwork until you can fix the bug.
