Media Player
-
Oh my God. Media Player is making me sick. For some sick reason, it keeps cutting off the beginning of my music files (like the first 4 seconds). I already have one song where about 20 seconds is missing off the front. It's not just the way media player is playing it or anything, because i opened the songs in audacity, and it's gone their too. It's also a fresh install of windows, so i can pretty much rule out some weird virus. I already had a problem where media player kept getting the wrong song info from the web and screwing up my songs id3's, so this is my second battle with media player. Pretty soon, all my songs will be like 1 second long. Any idea what could be happening? Anyone? I'm gonna have to stop using Media player or something.

From Beta release notes for Windows 7[^] When MP3 files are added (either manually or automatically) to either the Windows Media Player or the Windows Media Center library, or if the file metadata is edited with Windows Explorer, several seconds of audio data may be permanently removed from the start of the file. They call it the MP3 corruption "issue". A hot-fix is available here[^] My condolences if you do not have backup of what you've lost. :)

I thought it might be related to media player 12 because i never noticed it until i started using the beta of 7. I believe you have saved many music files on my computer. I take regular backups, so most of the screwed songs i have, but i think there is one or two that are gonna be permanent. Many many thanks. :-D

My pleasure. :) Also, I believe that one are two songs are not hurt so much and you can still download the mp3s legally, given that you own them. :)
