    This might be related to prioritizing file decoding with FFmpeg.
    Can you please install 5.1.12, re-analyze those files and let me know, whether it fails as well?

    The download link is https://www.beatunes.com/download/beaTunes-5-1-12-x64.exe

    The analysis functions is working fine in 5.1.12 but not in 5.1.13

    Sounds like the FFmpeg-based decoder stumbles over your mp3 (5.1.12 uses the built-in Windows library, which has other drawbacks).

    Any chance you could send me on of those failing mp3s? I'd like to reproduce the issue to figure out whether the FFmpeg-based decoder can be fixed somehow.

    Thank you!

    Hey,

    thanks for the file. Any chance you are using Lyrics3 v2.00? If so, why and with what software?

    Thanks,

    No I am not using that software. I got the file from a DJ music pool.

    "Lyrics3 v2.00" is not a software, but a special way to add lyrics information to your files.

    The tags were probably added by the original creator.
