I had this problem before and Martin did something to fix it... something about non-standard characters in the media stream... but the problem is here again....
Our church uses an MP3 recorder to record audio. It has very few controls... it is supposed to just record the analog audio that is few to it. Plain and simple. However the last few versions of AmadeusPro have not been able to decode the whole file for me... it usually just shows the first 15-18 minutes.
My workaround is to import the file into iTunes, and have iTunes convert it to another MP3 file. This new version always works fine in AmadeusPro.
There is a sample of a broken file here...

mp3 Scan+Repair
Wow. To answer my own question, I searched for free mp3 checkers and found that there are several for PC and Mac. I downloaded a little program called MP3 Scan+Repair for OSX, and it told me that the file wasn't properly closed. I hit the repair button, and it closed it for me! Now Amadeus opens the whole file. Probably less destructive than letting iTunes re-MP3 the entire file...
That fixes my problem, but still begs the question - why doesn't iTunes care if a file is properly closed, while it completely confuses Amadeus?

They use different decoders; looks like mpg123 (the one used by Amadeus Pro)That fixes my problem, but still begs the question - why doesn't iTunes care if a file is properly closed, while it completely confuses Amadeus?
is a bit more strict than the one used by iTunes. Regards,
