Very odd! As I said, I wouldn't expect the SS scan to modify the files (but I don't know the code, and am only guessing; who knows how scanning WMA files works?) I wonder what would happen if you set the files to be read-only... would they still get corrupted? (In which case I'd mistrust either the readonly setting (in Windows, trust b*gger all!) or your hard drive!) Would the scan itself fail (because it "needs" to change a file, but can't)? I suppose there's also the possibility that some other process is corrupting the files; say, if you're running another music app that's changing files on the fly (possibly via a well-hidden configuration setting). (I remember once doing lots of damage to my WMA tags by foolishly letting WMP try to "fix" them for me, but I'm fairly sure I explicitly asked WMP to do it. And the files weren't rendered unplayable, just my carefully-assigned genres were replaced by those chosen by a bunch of brainless jerks with no taste :-(.) -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25739 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
