Marian Ciobanu explained that back in May, 2008, he decided to properly tag all the tracks in his MP3 collection, which included adding album cover art, fixing VBR headers, and re-ripping albums with poor sound quality. After having tried various applications, he found that none offered the functionality he was looking for. He wanted something that could help him view MP3 info so that he could easily identify what’s wrong, something that could fix numerous issues that usually affect MP3s, so he came up with MP3 Diags – a free tool that can identify more than 50 issues that affect MP3s.

Fix bad tagging and other issues that affect MP3s with the free MP3 Diags application.
