loudgain refuses to write tags to this MP3 file

[dbedrenko]

Actually, I have a few albums for which loudgain successfully calculates the gain, but then it just doesn't write the MP3 tags to the file despite me passing the option -s i.

Here is one such MP3. I run loudgain on it which returns with a successful exit code:

$ loudgain -I 3 -S -L -k -s i '01(51) Allegro (1).mp3'
[✔] Scanning '01(51) Allegro (1).mp3' ...

Yet no tags are written and the file's modified time hasn't changed either:

$ ffprobe 01\(51\)\ Allegro\ \(1\).mp3

Anyone know what's going on?

I ran loudgain over my entire library and also noticed that it was unable to update a few mp3 files.

The command I used is: /usr/bin/loudgain -a -k -s e *.mp3

I also rewrote the tags using Kid3 to try to fix anything that could be corrupted in the metadata.

Further debug, the mp3 files were most likely corrupt.

I fixed by doing sometime like: ffmpeg -i "source.mp3" -acodec copy "fixed.mp3"
