If you have already a huge amount of songs in your library this process will take a long time.

I have deleted the entire main@library.songbirdnest.com.db and then re-imported all my songs.

OS: Vista Ultimate
DB-Path: C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Songbird2\Profiles\********.default\db

I have closed Songbird, then manually deleted the db-file:
main@library.songbirdnest.com.db
After restarting Songbird, this db was recreated automagically.

OS: Vista Ultimate
DB-Path: C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Songbird2\Profiles\********.default\db

I made 3 files with the following tag versions:
- ID3v2.4 - UTF-8
- ID3v2.3 - UTF-16
- ID3v2.3 - ISO-8859-1
All three files were imported fine, no error and I can edit the metadata.

Yes, I noticed the other errors in the commandline window of my other PC with XP (wrong info above! Sorry again)

I try it now on my main machine with Vista Ultimate (I have to start it as admin to get the -console working)

Do you have any idea how I could find the files that seems to have a problem?
Maybe we can investigate and try to fix them...

Ups, sorry.
Songbird Version: Official 1.2.0
ID3 Versions: about 95% is in ID3v2.3, about 5% ID3v2.4
-> If I would know which songs are affected, I could have a closer look at the ID3 version .-)
My OS is: Windows Vista Ultimate

TagLib: Various errors and warnings during import. Howto find and fix the affected songs?

During the import of my mp3 I get many errors/warnings like this:

TagLib: ID3v2.4 no longer supports the frame type TDAT. It will be discarded from the tag.
TagLib: ID3v2.4 no longer supports the frame type RVAD. It will be discarded from the tag.
TagLib: ID3v2.4 no longer supports the frame type TSIZ. It will be discarded from the tag.

TagLib: MPEG::Header::parse() -- Invalid sample rate.

TagLib: MPEG::Properties::read() -- Could not find a valid first MPEG frame in the stream.

TagLib: MPEG::Header::parse() -- First byte did not match MPEG synch.

TagLib: String::prepare() - Unicode conversion error.

None of this lines includes the filename or other information about the affected song.

a) How can I find this songs after the import in the Library?
b) How can I fix this problems with Songbird or some Add-on?
c) How can I check them again - after fixing it inside or outside Songbird?

IT WORKS! Now I can see all the debug-stuff in the windows commandline.
Thank you very much!

Just to be sure:
I still don't find anything In the Error Console, right? "Dump" write only to the commandline window? There is no easy way to dump in a file instead of the commandline window?

SongBirdLover replied on September 04, 2009 18:58 to the question "Where can I find the ouptut of a dump("some debug info") command?" in Songbird:

Thanks for fast answer Lukas_Skywalker!

But there is "nothing" in this Error Console. Even if I switch to "All" there is only 1 entry but not one from the add-ons.

How can I be sure that this dump-feature is enabled/activated/turned on or whatever it needs?

SongBirdLover asked a question in Songbird on September 04, 2009 18:50:

Where can I find the ouptut of a dump("some debug info") command?

I have several Add-ons installed which produces some debug informations.
Unfortunately, I can't find the files or location where this info should be stored.

Can someone help me and tell me the directory and filename or the location where I can find this info for my Windows Vista?

How can I be sure, that such information will be written at all?
If I see a code line like this
dump("--Removing " + item.guid + "\n");

What is the key to be sure that this line will be used and written?

Thanks for every hint!

There is already the Add-On "Scrubz".
Actually it does not seems, that george is working on it.
I'm wrong?
