Re: Random noise inserted into MP3s

Post by toyzrme »

I don't want to scare you, but something like this happened to me, and it had nothing to do with my MP3's: my disk was dying, and the Master File Table was getting scrambled. The result was files were getting cross-linked, and for MP3's, it meant pieces of tracks got mixed together.

Hope you have a backup - then do a scandisk/chkdsk.

Good luck.
Environment:
MMW: ~25,000 tracks, MM.DB on 16Gbps PCIe SSD (Samsung 950 Pro) - up-to-date, not Beta
MMA: ~12,000 tracks sync'd to phone - up-to-date, not Beta
PC: Windows 10/64, Skylake quad+HT @4.2GHz, 64GB RAM, 14TB RAID6
Phone: Galaxy S10 (128GB) + 400GB mSD card (Samsung EVO+)
Sync: all tracks rated >=3 sync'd to phone
.........all playlists only use tracks rated >=3
.........thus sync'ing is 99.99% playlist update - no tracks are sync'd, other than new purchases
Playlists: ~59 synced
..........most are auto-playlists
..........use attributes Rating, Last Played, Date recorded, Genre, Genre "contains", Path "contains"
..........many are nested, i.e. "Top AutoPlaylist" includes "Level 2 AutoPL #1" + "Level 2 AutoPL #2" etc.

Exact same thing happened to some of my MP3 tracks a few years ago - bad hard drive.
