I don't know of any verification utility, so I would probably
just use a one liner with a commandline mp3 player and
test the mp3s by playing them. In [t]csh:
find . -name "*.mp3" -print -exec mpg123 {} \; >& mp3.log
( the >& writes both standard out and and standard error to
the file - I don't remember the Bourne syntax)
Run that command, and then search the log file for error
messages. Not very elegant, but it should work fine.
Of course if you have a lot of mp3s it would take
a while - you might be able to speed the process up by
sending the audio to /dev/null or something.
