Why don't my mp3s work?

[garbagefan2]

I downloaded some mp3 files. And they refuse to work. In every media player I try to play it in it says file type not compatable. But it's an mp3. And in iTunes when I drag it to my library or playlist nothing happens. What should I do? I don't want to redownload them. So what do I do about it? Do I convert it or something?

I get the feeling that they must be junk files of some sort. If they are just some of your downloads and others work, then I'd re-download them. I have most of the optional colums open in the search window, and I only usually go for files that show a title, album etc. If the host is Phex for instance this does not apply. but I'm a bit puzzled as the junk files usually will not download.

garbagefan2 can you send a PM to me with the exact filenames & their sizes so I can check them myself.
If you have a good upload speed, then send me some magnet links for those you have.

As suggested by PM, your ip of 192. suggests you're on an unconfigured modem/router network. You need to either enable UPnP or else, forward a port within your device. Otherwise nobody will be able to direct connect to you & magnet links for 99.99% of people from your shares will fail. So will over 80% of attempted uploads from you. Which means you're not really sharing because very few will be able to download from you. Perhaps 0.5% of attempted uploads will succeed.
