Default MP3s And Other Digital Audio Files Mysteriously Shrinking!!

A Genesis track that clocked in at over 4 minutes is now only
0:10(plays the first 10 sec).


The same thing happened to a Rihanna and a Fleetwood Mac song on my
computer. *The Rihanna played the first 30 sec.


WTF is going on with my music collection??!?


Have the files been updated in any way?

Are they the same length in bytes as always?

Unsteady: Nope - first 10 sec plays on PC as well as on iPod.

Arny: Updated: Not as far as I knowd Length: Did not notice
length in bytes(size?) - just the length in min:sec.

It's happening slowly, like they are somehow "eroding". Every once in
a while a song file completely VANISHES from the PC and the player.
All I know is, I've got a lot of CDs to start burning b4 my entire
collection disappears!!
