Faced the same problem today. Any idea how to find out on which file it crashes, exactly?

Do the import from the command line with verbose logging.

php artisan koel:sync -vv

Then you should see which track(s) are causing the problem.
For each track/album that was causing the issue, it was easy to see why (usually a weird character).
I ended up doing a lot of renaming and using MusicBrainz Picard to re-write ID3 tags.
I had to do this >50 times - each time taking longer for the import to fail.
But after about 2 days, I was done, and now the library works.

Hope this helps.

Hey, sorry this happened to you. As you have correctly identified, this happens with weird corrupted files where even getId3 crashes (it normally gracefully handles exceptions). I thought about wrapping every single file scan in a try/catch block, but this would come with some performance cost (especially for huge libraries), so I'm still on the fence about it.

For artist images: You need Spotify integration enabled and configured.

What @volcs0 suggested (thanks!) I'm aware that this is not the best, however, so I have implemented a sync log functionality in 1518196 and will tag once I have the time :) Sorry for the inconvenience.
