I am having a difficult time getting downloaded MP3s to play. If I download 20 copies of the same song, I can usually find one that will play. This is a relatively new issue. I'm running an old iMac with system 10.4.11 and iTunes 8.0.2 with Limewire version 4.12.6 Pro. No system upgrades have been made.

When getting info on an unplayable MP3 as opposed to one that works, the "General" heading shows similar info. The "more info" headings are quite different. The working MP3 file shows album, authors, channel count,duration, and last opened while the unplayable one shows only last opened. Name & extension and open with are also the same while there is no preview for the unplayable one. Ownership & permissions and details are similar. Can anybody PLEASE help me with this issue??
