Hi there, i hope someone her can help me with a "small" problem :)

Im in the process of converting ALL (and thats a lot) of my CDs into
mp3 for use on my media server. But of course i cant check all the files
manually by listening to them, that would take weeks!
So I was wondering if any of you know of any programs/software, where
i can select a library with lots of music, and have it to analyze the mp3
files
for such things as sound missing right in the middle of the music,
known as dropouts, or if theres any *blops* or other anomalies?
The most important part here are to check for dropouts, the *blops* are
secondary.

I have tried Ashampoo and EncSpot 2.0, but i dont really find any use
of those, since they only report if the files are defect by some way, and
not playable.

I have files which they report as 'ok' but when listening to the files, i
find
*blops* here and there + dropouts of 1-2 secs .. not often, but it happens.

As an addition to my request, it would be nice if it was somehow possible to
type in what I expect each of the mp3 files to last in minutes and seconds,
so the program could use that for an error check as well. Fx. if I know a
song
to last 3:43 it should be possible to somehow put that in as a parameter in
the
error checking for that specific file.

I really hope its is possible to get some good feedback here, else I can
look
forward to a winter with endless sound listening :)

Best regards
