#6 VBRI header

[Anonymous]

Hello...we are trying to use mp3val to find mp3 files of ours that suffer from the following error 'Wrong number of MPEG frames specified in VBRI header'.

My question is this:

Do we need the entire mp3 file to uncover such an error in an mp3 file...or could we for example download the first 'n' bytes of an mp3 file and run mp3val against it instead. I am trying to save bandwidth costs by not downloading the entire file before we check them.

Thanks in advance,

Shain
