MP3 Problems

[Howard 13]

For some reason a section of my MP3's have stopped working.

 

I'm using the latest version of winamp and most are O.K its about 50 tracks by the same artist just don't work.

 

I get the message 'mpeg header not found'

 

I know for sure that these tracks definately used to work alright.

 

Any ideas?

[Si...]

Have you tried using a different audio player?

[Howard 13]

Not until just then and no...still no joy.

 

I've got the MP3's on back up discs so I'll try loading them up again tomorrow.

 

A little bit weird though eh? :confused:

i had a similar problem with files ,i copied them to another disk because i was having a problem with my machine ,on formatting the disk i copied everything back ,quite a few files were "corrupted" (incomplete zip file reports etc)and others not opening EVENTUALLY i found that a memory chip had gone bad (it was revealed when i disabled "fast boot" in the bios) luckily i had a further backup on another machine ,so lost nothing ,windows never noticed the glitch for some reason ,have you copied the files to anywhere else recently?

Sorry Chesters, I missed your last post on this.

I've just found the disc with the MP3 files on and tried copying them back to my hard drive but they still don't work.

 

With Winamp I get the message 'No MPEG Header found'

 

Now I know for certain that these files definately used to be O.K - the disc appears to be alright with no scratches or anything - any other ideas?

Have you tried playing them of the CD to see if that works?

[Howard 13]

Eddie, yes tried that.

failing that ask on their message board im sure they will be able to help as the makers of win amp post on there.

Thanks for that link Paul.

 

I've browsed through the forums but can't seem to find what I'm looking for.I just can't understand how they can be O.K one minute but won't work at all the next.

 

Its quite a helpful website anyway, cheers.

[will this name be ok]

have you tried an older version of winamp as i have the same problem as you but i never bothered trying to go back to an older version as i don't use it that often.
