Can someone please tell me how i can tell which songs in my itunes library are corrupted and which are not?

i use win xp if that makes any diference?

Play them

ok....but they are all fine and play fully and even in key....if thats the case im still at a loss as to how they seem to be corrupted.....

thanking you in advance.....
are you based in dublin, ireland,.....wow if you are you could comeover and show this idiot how these things work!

What do you mean they're corrupted? What program gives you that message? And under what conditions?

If it was when you downlded them thru LW, then it might be due to something as simple as the hash tree didn't agree with the original one that was downlded the moment you selected the file to downld, but in the meantime someone has changed the id3 tag. It's when the hash tree comparison is wrong that you usually get that message. But the difference might be a single bit or byte or few or could be many. It depends upon whether the difference in data has damaged the file or not. It's not always easy to know. For that reason I always continue with files that get the corruption detected message. And then check them at the end to see if they're usable or not.

Ok I follow you....but i only have a problem with these corrupt files when i see a prompt at the bottom right of screen telling me to run the chkdsk utility....i seem to have completed this successfully....(after rebooting the PC) but then when i go back to update my IPOD the same warning appears......

thanks lotr
