1Here's a little something that will help in spotting problems
2with the addition of new features...

71) Take a known good mp3, and run:
8
9md5sum <mp3_file.mp3>
10
11Then run mp3_check -a -sf <mp3_file.mp3> > <new_mp3.mp3>
12
13They should be the same (by comparing the md5sums of both mp3s).
14
15This will try to fix an already good mp3, and thus should
16not make any changes.
17
18** Especially with VBR files.

242) Take a known good mp3, cut it in half, and add some junk
25in the center (dd if=/dev/zero of=junk bc=2000) and glue it all
26back (with the junk in the middle).
27
28Then run mp3_check -a -sf <mp3_file.mp3> > <new_mp3.mp3>
29
30I would like it to be able to strip out the junk, and return
31the original mp3, but I don't think it works quite yet.

33Anyone willing to take a look at this? :)

423) Take a known good mp3, and run:
43
44md5sum <mp3_file.mp3>
45
46Then run mp3_check -a -s <mp3_file.mp3> > <new_mp3.mp3>
47
48They should be the same (without fixing anything).
