I suspect my problem was a failing drive (or a least a bad directory)
that I backed up. When I decided to restore that partition from
backup, the files were probably already corrupted before those were
backed up. (In fact, these were relatively recently added files.)
No biggie, though. I've got the CD these tracks came from.
I was mostly confused by what iTunes was doing (where the timer
toggled between two seconds). At first I didn't know the files were
bad, but thought it was some problem with iTunes.
