=Introduction=
'''MP3val''' is a tool for [[MPEG]] audio files validation and (optionally) fixing problems. It can be useful for finding corrupted files (e.g. incompletely downloaded).
[[MP3]] decoders are very tolerant to inconsistencies in the input file. Most players even don't report to user about stream errors. So, as a rule, user doesn't know whether his files are valid or broken. But using broken files can eventually lead to problems during playback on certain software/hardware.

''Be careful'': although MP3val can repair even files with [[MPEG]] stream errors, it is recommended that you find a "good" copy of this file, because a "click" sound usually can't be removed, the repaired file will only look like good.

The core component of MP3val is an application with command-line interface. There are two graphical frontends one is a Windows application and a multi-platform Python script.
