Deezer API Sometimes provides broken FLAC files.
Main symptom is no MetaData/Corrupt MetaData that cannot be changed
The files will normally play but can also sometimes have corrupt audio.

@KGeo101 commented on GitHub (Nov 18, 2025):

seems to happen a lot with older music files. the files can be repaired when just the metadata (tag) is corrupted, by extracting and re-encoding with something like EAC. but this is a nusance and doesnt work if the audio is also corrupt
