I have had the same experience with mp3's generated by programs that
insist on promoting themselves in the mp3 tags.
Some very expensive news / network software seems to do it just to be
difficult.
Setting all tags blank, gets rid of characters which upset rdimport.
Remember there are several types of tags. mp3 has more standards than a
Roman army.

Terry,
Usually when I have issues with MP3's not importing via dropboxes it has
to do with issues with the MP3 header/metadata information not
conforming to standard.
Generally when importing MP3's I'll run them through mp3val first, which
is a small little piece of software that will look for common issues
with headers and metadata in an MP3 file and fix it.

Hi,
We use several Dropboxes to ingest our syndicated programming. It normally
works very well, but we had an issue yesterday where a file import failed.
Here's what's in the log:
Mar 12 17:28:41: Deleting cuts from cart 999989
Mar 12 17:28:41: Importing file "281_1-1_20210311_198698.mp3" [Ralph Nader
Radio Hour Ep 366] to cart 999989 ... Mar 12 17:29:08: Audio Converter
Error: Internal Error, skipping
/home/rd/kuchota/TEST/Ralph-Nader/281_1-1_20210311_198698.mp3...
I was able to get the Dropbox to work again by selecting 'Reset' for that
particular Dropbox, but I'm hoping to learn more about what caused it and
how to prevent it from happening in the future.
Any insight into what caused this would be greatly appreciated. I'm also
open to hearing any strategies that may exist to mitigate playout issues
when there are errors like this.
Thanks!
