Help! need tips to fix, broken mp3's
"PSYBER BOY" wrote in message
news . i mounted in my Desktop PC, use ONTARCK Easy recovery to search for old files, and sucefully recover some of the songs. The problem its that some files mark an error, saying that the extension its not the same of the original file (WMP 11 message), media player clasicc, says that the time code its no valid, so after all the chat'a chat'a chin chin. On the intact hard drive, your MP3 files should be OK. Your problems appear to be with WMP configuration, playlists and so on. You can test every file by playing it individually in any other audio player (e.g. RealPlay.) -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

You can play music even if you just sucked it off somewhere (good ole Napster comes to my mind) like the Internet? What about the rights of the *artists*? In some countries they get royalties even if a DJ plays them in a public setting. But seriously I hope you will invest in some good *back-up* HDD to keep *more* then one set of this *data*. 80GM of music in mp3 this means a lot of playing-time. Please help!!!

Thanks Don, i'll already open the single file whit many players, and obtain
the same result. Even whit 3rd party software that claim reproduce all you can trow in. So i really think that the problem its more in phisyc and logic loose of data than in single player configuration. But thanks for the info. By the way, do you now some program that repair my restored mp3 files, some kind of tool taht let me read in raw or something. Any info aprecciated. And thanks for your time.

So like Jesus Christ say along time: the one who its free of sin, throw the
first stone. :-p , sorry just a bad joke, and i have to say. The thing here its the genere of music i play (psychedelic trance, GOA trance, Fullon Trance) "and buy" its not so popular and accesible here, in Mexico music stores. Import one single CD cost me about $75 dollars. Via Internet, from pages like Psyshop and others, and the files or albums downladed right to my drive for 99% less cost, i really had to choose this option. By the way i BUY those files, i can't redownload again, its gonna cost a lot of money. So "Dragomir Kollaric", if you have some handfull info, that helps fix my problem, i really go to apreciete that.

People did that with floppies thinking it was safer on the floppy - actually
easier damaged medium than on the hard drive. My motto: Save on hard drive - backup to at lease two different destinations (alternate DVD's, alternate removable drives etc) "Dragomir Kollaric" wrote in message ...

So no backup - even on your own PC? Sounds like the files have been damaged.
Try chkdsk /r. But even then the files are lost.

My motto: Save on hard drive - backup to at lease two different destinations (alternate DVD's, alternate removable drives etc) I remember these days. I've installed a Software under Win98 and it was on 28 floppies. Guess what? #25 was broken, so I couldn't install it, send it back got me an replacement, installed it and then made the backup. Later luckily I got the same software as tool on a CD-ROM and used that instead whenever I needed. cut Dragomir Kollaric -- "When science discovers the center of the universe, a lot of people will be disappointed to find they are not it."

I'm bad at math but I can gather that there would be room for a lot of *mp3 files on a 80 GB HDD. And all that kept on a portable storage unit. He said that he used to have the files on another HDD, but after moving/copying them to the USB, he used the other HDD for something else. Now if these *mp3 are that valuable would a professional date-recovery firm be of any help at all? I understand they would charge him an arm and a leg for their service....
