I didn't notice this problem until i installed a pre beta version of windows 7. I don't know if its the media player that comes with it, but ever since then i'd notice that the media player would skip the beginning of most of my songs.
I thought it was some weird audio codec problem, and uninstalled seven and put vista back on.
i still noticed the problem. So for the past week i've been searching for answers, still thinking it was a codec problem.
Then days after not being able to find anything close to what could be happening, I decided to see if the entire song was even sitll there. So copied it to my phone, and surely the first 15 seconds of the song were completely gone, and the mp3 has been clipped. Other mp3's it was only a few seconds.
i talked to some other people here and they said the same thing happened to some of their mp3's after installing windows 7.
Now not all mp3's were effected. I've noticed about 15 so far, but thats only out of the music i listen to regularly. I have thousands of mp3's, so its uncertain how many were cut apart.
All my mp3's were saved onto a slave drive. And werent on the actual windows installation drive.
What in windows seven could do this? or in windows media player 12 that comes with 7?
Nothing ever popped up that i remember asking if it could splice up many of my mp3's and ruin my mp3 library.
It makes no sense that this could happen, but it did. And it only happened to a few of us after we installed pre beta 7, and used the wmp.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Also if you're testing windows 7, i suggest keeping your mp3's on read only or something.
odddd
but not all of the albums were damaged, and i can easily just copy them from the actual cd or redownload.
. was cropped all the way to the second verse.
