O/T Jumbled (cross-linked) mp3 files
« on: October 22, 2003, 08:12:25 am »

 ?
Recently I was helping a friend download and setup a trial of MC9, and doing a demo of it's abilities.
During this demo I came across several of her mp3 files that are cross-linked or jumbled together.  What I mean is that suddenly, in mid-song, the file is playing a totally different song . . . .  then later on in the same file may switch back to the proper song.

I am not certain how these files got this way.  
These could be some files which may have come from peer-2-peer file-sharing downloads and could have been that way when she got them.
Or could this possibly have occurred on her machine due to some data error?  A data mix-up during defrag? Perhaps some type of bug?  A weird virus?  A plot by the RIAA to contaminate P2P with messed-up files?  A virus spread by the RIAA to destroy the music collections of anyone who ever used P2P services?
I have no clue.

This could be just several "bad files" in her collection from some single source and really be nothing to be concerned about, but I am not sure.
So, I want to know if anyone else has encountered files in such conditions.

Curiously, I have not seen this occur with any of my APE files.
