Hi, Found it! The files name had .mp3 at the end, the problem was being masked by null objects (or whatever) being returned by eyed3.
Checked for null objects and then stripped off the .mp3 and its mostly working now. I’ve got a few other eyed3 errors to do with null objects but I can sort those out tomorrow.
