My first suspicion would be a bug in your mp3 player application that is

play them and notice it.


An interesting idea. Do player applications even have the ability to
write data?


The Windows Media Player I have no idea about. But applications like iTunes
that maintain directories of mp3 files and do all of this fancy file
management stuff with moving files around all the time certainly do. That
strikes me as an accident waiting to happen, personally.
