Hmm, I have a different result. It works without any errors. Though I ran collector on Windows machine using Python 3.7.4 and mutagen 1.45.1.
I created folder with one my file and yours. Then ran the following commands:
To verify the data in DB I executed the following commands: open DB and list data in the 'metadata' table:
It showed both files. So, I'm not sure either 'mutagen' has some issues on Mac or different version of Python/mutagen has impact.
Best regards

I also tested your file on MacBook Pro with macOS Monterey 12.3 using Python 3.11.2 and mutagen 1.46.0. No errors.
I tried running collector.py on a Win 7 machine with python 3.7 and mutagen 1.46.0. I also failed the same way.
Magic, I hope you sent me the file which fails for you. Could you try to create collection using just that one file?
The one file that I sent you fails. Interestingly, when I run collector.py files I returns the file count as 2!
You really have two files in that folder. To double check just run the command 'ls -la' in that directory. It will show you normal file and a "hidden" file which name starts from dot '.'. You sent me the file without dot. More likely that hidden file has the issue. I'm not sure who creates that hidden file. Probably you have some process on your Mac which does that for iTunes files.
Yes, just make sure that you have a normal files with the same name without dot. I would also investigated who creates those hidden files. This is not normal. Maybe they don't take too much space but still.
I am reluctant to remove those hidden files. I will accept the errors created by them and just see if the db file works. I assume it will
Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks for the heads up.
Sure, I'm just thinking to disable parsing hidden files in the collector. Though probably some people use such filenames, not sure why.
