WMP won't play some MP3's

[jtindle]

I've searched and found similar problems but can't fix my problem. I have mp3's that will play in WMP and a week later or sometimes a month later, they won't play. I notice in Windows Explorer window that the ones that quit playing have lost most all of its info when you stop the arrow over the name. All it says is MP# format and size of file when before it listed artist, album, length and such.

I tried opening the file in NERO waveeditor and then saving but that didn't help. Anyone have a solution?

error message C00D11B1

Windows XP and WMP 11

Thanks

Jeff

Hi Jeff! Five and a half hours ahead of GMT, interesting. Anyway are you
sure they played fine before? If so, sounds like they got corrupted
somehow. Especially since the MP3 tags are missing (arrow over file).
Yet Nero WaveEditor opened them up? Did they play under Nero? Say did
these files see a Linux system by chance? Sorry for the questions, but I
need to know more.

Sorry, I didn't bother changing the time zone. I'm in KY.

NERO would not open them and no, I have no Linux system but I do put them on a Maxtor external harddrive.

Thanks

Jeff

I go back to WMP today and try to play the same mp3's that wouldn't play yesterday and now they play fine. I open them up in Windows Explorer and do the arrow over file and the tags are back. ANyone know why this would happen?

Thanks

Jeff

Hi Jeff! Oh okay.

No, I don't see this is being a problem. Although you never know. I have
found some of my MP3 music videos that I recorded with my TV card, will
sometimes corrupt later. Meaning they will play and sometimes jump ahead
or end early. But if I save them in other formats, I never have a
problem with them. So I suspect that MP3 files can easily become
corrupted somehow. But how or why yet is still a mystery to me.
