Re: [Easytag-mailing] EasyTag freezes on some MP3:s

[Jérôme Couderc <j couderc ifrance com>]

Hi,

I think that is due to a bug in id3lib which does an infinite loop when 
the file contains no audio data (only zeroes).
Someone else reports me a such problem....
You can chexk the content of your file with a hexadecimal editor

Regards,
Jerome
