The above is the info from the debug report. I can't find anything wrong with the mp3's or the tagging. Any ideas?
-
try setting debuglevel (in jukebox.ini) to 5 and then see what the log says
-
Do only these MP3's fail, or can you not load any MP3's?
-

Only those. I occasionally get a problem while loading a folder where "folder.jpg" will disappear and cause the program to crash or the songs will include a non-english marker (i.e. Bjork with the dots over the "o") that will cause the songs not to read correctly, but I see no reason with these.

My stock answer for these is that they are not encoded correctly. If you run an MP3 tester against these I'm sure you'll find header errors of some sort; Windows Media Player may be be able to handle them but the audio library I am using is not. Unfortunately, there is little I can do about these, at least in the short term.

The interesting part, and I have now seen this with about 5 different CDs, is that they work for a time and then it is like they get corrupted and cause a crash unless they are removed.

Well that throws a monkey wrench in my theory. Usually the bad MP3 is caused by an encoder that isn't quite up to standards. I've never seen a working one go bad.
The specific error message indicates that I could physically load the file and hand it off to the decoding library but the library errored out trying to process it. Are you also playing these MP3 files in a player that might be tinkering with the MP3 header every time it plays, such as updating a play count, or only using them with WinCab?

That is a possibility. I have all of the music on an external hard drive and I occasionally take the HD and hook it to another computer. If that is the case, is there a way to uncorrupt these files?

Well step one is to see if this is what's actually happening. Find an MP3 that plays properly in WinCab, play it with the other player a few times, then try it in WinCab again.
