Did you try to scan your disk for error (by the way, what is your file system: ntfs, fat32, fat16, linux ?), crossed linked files are likely to be detected. But the MP3 structure seem ok, and THAT is magic :) I've never faced a problem like this, on any file system I know (I've already had corrupted files but they were unusable...)

Hey all, Not sure what kind of problem this is, but I've experienced it to some degree over the last six years on many pcs and filesystems ranging from win95 && fat16 to ntsf && XP. Problem: After some amount of time, songs seem to corrupt themselves and exchange frames with seemingly unrelated mp3s. Let me give an example: some mp3, say xxyy.mp3 in subfolder xxyy up and mixed with wwpp.mp3 in subfolder wwpp. The locations of the mixing files is random, and it appears that at some point memory bits in the filesystem freaked out and so mixed with those of a song. It does not go both ways though - only one song is affected at a time, which makes it really hard to track down which files are screwed up! Indeed it makes for a rude awakening when you are listening to say Bach and a portion of a Godsmack song kicks in at the 3 minute mark. This usually happens when I have a large number of song files on a partition say 10-15gb...Also, text and other file formats don't get corrupted. Anyone had this problem? Is it a result of cross-linked files? If so, how do I avoid this? It's a horrid waste of time to have to go back and rip the cd or find the mp3 someplace on the net. You know?
