Sometimes the "corruption" of a file can be so subtle that it may, upon careful
listening, result in (for example) a tune skipping a beat or one or two words in
a phrase being lost. Things that the casual listener would not notice.
But hey... if it sounds "okay" to you... then no problem.
Then again, and not being familiar with MP3 Validator, most of these
programs/utilities have "threshold" settings. Set 'em high enough and most any
file will pass. Yes, I'm sure you know this... just making a point for others
who might read this.
