I've experienced two flavors of this:
1. MM jumps from one gray track to the next until it finally plays one that is not gray. In this case it always seems that MM lost track of the files for some reason, which is fixed with Locate Moved/Missing Files.
2. MM fails to play a song, turns the track gray and then pops up a dialog box saying MM can't play that format and offers to search for the missing codec and you have to act on that box. There is no missing codec. In this case, MM has randomly corrupted the track. This only happens with .m4a tracks from iTunes, and I suspect it occurs during the import process from iTunes. I have auto-organize enabled with a rule, so the import process moves the tracks out of the iTunes directory, This just happened to me with a single track of an old Supertramp album I bought today. Re-downloaded to iTunes and re-imported. Plays fine.
