+MP3val is a small, high-speed, free software tool for checking MPEG
+audio files' integrity. It can be useful for finding corrupted files
+(e.g. incompletely downloaded, truncated,containing garbage).
+MP3val is also able to fix most of the problems.
+
+The most common MPEG audio file type is MPEG 1 Layer III (mp3), but
+MP3val supports also other MPEG versions and layers. The tool is also
+aware of the most common types of tags (ID3v1, ID3v2, APEv2).
