Empty Files - No sound

[Grantmann]

This morning (and a few other times as well) I have downloaded some songs but then I cannot play them. No sound comes out of the speaker. After about 10 seconds of 'playing' it goes to the next song.

I use iTunes, OSX 10.3.9, LW 4.8.1, 384 MB ram, 1gHz - G4

This morning's session had at least 4 songs that 'just weren't there.'

I deleted them from iTunes and went to the Trash, dragged them to the desktop, got info, changed the 'Open With' from iTunes to QuickTime just to see if that would make a difference, tried to play on QT, but it as with iTunes, it wouldn't.

Any ideas out there? I'm guessing the files are simply corrupted, but ususally I get a 'corrupt' message on LW.

On 'Get Info' the size of the files are substantial - 1.5 MB on up to 6 MB, so something's there.
