Well I don't understand how that can be THE problem, because some of these tracks have played fine for like more than 2 years and then one day boom. Also I had a bit of a virus/worm/trojan/spyware week and spent some time on another bulletin board with people helping me fix it all. So I don't know if that had something to do with it, because I haven't heard of a virus that affects your mp3s in that way. Is there anything else you can think of that may be the problem?

Thanks for the response!
