Well, once again, my Server QA/QC Engineer,  Ed Wilhelm seems to like keeping me busy.  Utilizing a few tools, he uncovered some minor errors in the Van Halen albums.  The tools he utilized were, MP3 Test, which can be found HERE as well as the Linux tool MP3Diags, which can be found HERE.  I have used MP3Diags in the past.  It is open source, compared to the other tool MP3 Test.  According to Ed, they both yielded similar results, showing the Van Halen albums had minor errors, but they couldn’t be detected audibly.  However, I decided to replace them.  I moved the original files into the mp3-replaced directory as in the past.  There were a couple albums that weren’t in the new discography, so I put them in the Van Halen OLD directory.  The Van Halen is now categorized into COMPILLATIONS, LIVE, ORIGINAL. and REMASTERED.  I also sent up four Gary Hoey albums.   Below is the listing of what was sent to the server today.  Hopefully, these will pass Ed’s exhaustive testing….  😉
