Corrupt File Diagnoses

If you find a file displaying the corrupt icon, you can hover your mouse over the corrupt icon for information on what type of corruption was found. The information will be displayed in the Status Bar at the very bottom of the library.

Corrupt File: This MP3 contains invalid frames

This MP3 contains frames which do not conform strictly to the official MP3 specification. Serato DJ Lite cannot be certain that this file will play back 100% accurately.

Corrupt file: This file contains corrupt frames that may result in audible glitches

This file contains two or more contiguous corrupt frames. Since corrupt frames are replaced with silence, this could result in what might sound like an audio glitch.
