I've had the same problem with copying MP3 files, especially over a network. All of my music library is safely on my file server and from there they play fine, but recently I copied the library over to a computer which is normally not connected to the network for playing when the network is not available. After listening to the files being played from that system I can tell there is some copy corruption. Which begs the question, why? Does it have to do with the nature of the MP3 files themselves (being compressed and all), or is the computer copying procedure suspect?
