I'm getting a repeated error "pointer exception" on Windows 10 whenever I try to match music tracks using either ID3 or Automatic mode. Console output below:

I'm not sure about the ID3 tag question (I'm also not sure if that's the same issue for the automatic mode which also isn't doing anything) so below I have put all of the mediainfo:
The Performer or Composer tag seems to be missing. You'll have to use Music Mode via AcoustID or Plain File Mode if you want to deal with this kind of file. Additionally, you may want to consider using tools like MusicBrainz Picard to tags files properly, to make life easy in the long run.
The NPE is definitely a bug though. The correct behaviour would be to simply ignore files where required tags are missing instead of crashing.
Unfortunately, I have tried to put these through musicbrainz first but once it clusters them it can't seem to find the albums, I have about 1000 files like this, so I need to find some way to do it. Any specific suggestions would be appreciated?
Also: How do I do plainfile mode? I assume that will help strip all the stupid characters?
