No way that is 100% sure, I think.
If you want, you can do some check, like:
- check that the song title only contains valid characters
- check that the number of patterns is a possible value
There are probably more such checks you can do.
But doing so will make your replayer code larger, which is not a good
thing. Maybe you should make it the user's responsibility to only play
valid files.
