Default Weird MP3s

The ID3 tag of an MP3 is what carries the song's name/artist data (if it's present). That tag also has several bits which can be valued either True or False. They include "CRCs", "Copyright", and "Original". (There's also an "Emphasis" field for EQ adjustment but anyway...)

I can't believe your Adaptec software actually checks the Copyrighted bit!!

BTW, there is a format that is carried in an MP3 file called a "module", mod file, or ProTracker module. These play in Winamp thanx to an Input Plug-In which supports them. But they are not real MP3s. The biggest noticeable difference is the inability to rewind/ff/seek to a time of such a file!
Winamp will happily convert it to a WAV if you need
