The problem
=================
Music lovers that convert their music collections digitally run the
risk that many of their songs that have defects (I am referring to the
type of defects that especially disrupts the hearing pleasure).

It is possible to manually identify such poor tracks and attempt to
re-rip / clean (with mp3 cleaning applications) if you only have an
album or two. However, finding the defective tracks amongst ones
lifetime's album collection is a daunting task (it would take several
weeks of dedicated and methodical manual work).

And so I hold onto my CD collection "just in case" I discover yet
another defective mp3.

But I'd much rather free up the space in my flat if I had the quality
assurance of my collection (and I'd get brownie points from the missus
too :> ).

The solution ?
=================
An application that analyzes mp3s for defects and produces a report of
the defective tracks (with details such a path and the location within
tracks of the suspected defect).

My question
=================
Does any such application exist?

I have spent a fruitless hour searching the web for one. Surely a
significant market must exist for such an app? Surely it is technically
feasible to produce such an app? So (surely?) someone is capitalising
on this market having produced such an app?...
