[PROBLEM] Thumbnail generator crashes on certain files/folders

[Tim Curtis]

Yeah, the files in the OP's "Salsa de hoy" directory have a frankensteinian mashup of metadata. Three-character Frame ids are defined for id3v2.2; id3v2.3 moved to 4-character ids. There's also iTunes-like stuff and even some WMA. This all generates interesting messages in the various tools at my disposal. The files definitely need to be cleaned.

Defensive coding is good; as you say, the script shouldn't crash out. The question is, what messages should be passed back to the end user? I'm thinking just a razzberry:-)

lol, here's what gets logged after the fix that prevents the script crash :-)
