MP3val is an utility for MPEG audio files validation and (optionally) fixing problems. It was primarily designed for verification of MPEG 1 Layer III (MP3) files, but supports also other MPEG versions and layers.

MP3val can be useful for finding corrupted files (e.g. incompletely downloaded).

MP3val supports:
· MPEG-1, 2, 2.5; Layers I, II, III
· ID3v1 tags (must be at the very end of the file)
· ID3v2 tags (must be at the very beginning of the file)
· APEv2 tags
