Title: mp3 analyzer
Post by: pwig on February 22, 2009, 04:48:09 PM

I am getting ready to back up some really old cd-r's. I know some in the batch may have been .mp3 sourced and was really bad at marking these things when I first started trading/burning. What is the best free software to help?

Thanks!

Check at hyrdogenaudio.com.  There is some software, Russian I believe, that will offer its best guess if the tracks were MP3 at one time.  It is free.

Cheers

Trader's Little Helper - also free.  And you can check the spectral of the WAV's in Audacity, it will be pretty obvious - also free.

For your particular usage TLH does all you need, but there used to be an app called Encspot that was very versatile.
It's abandonware since 2007 though:
