Hi,

Can you post an MP3 file that is generating this error, so I can look at it ?

[onny]

@desbma here is the file https://nextcloud.project-insanity.org/s/T7QkNHQfSXTtaGX looks like its just a corrupt file. so maybe it is possible to catch the exception and continue the tagging process?

Yes, that is the idea. I just wanted the file to add a test for that case. It should be fixed now, thanks for the report and file.
