mp3 files wont play

hi guys.i recently downloaded some mp3 files and they are playing fine.
but when i try moving them yesterday on my USB flash drive and i start playing them on windows media player, they just stop playing and you only can heard this "raspy static sound

i tried running some disk check on the flash drive,but the problem persist, so i tried moving them back on the default download folder on my computer but the same thing happen.

i tried playing them on other media players,
and tried running some antivirus scan on the local hard drives just to be sure its not a virus problem.(still their not playing)


any advice?:S

tnx in advance:)

the thing is, some of my mp3 files that are already stored in my flashdrive are just playing fine. the recently downloaded mp3 are the one that are having some problems playing.

i just notice that the corrupted mp3 files has different bit rates(192kbps) compared to the okay ones.

is this some bit rate problems? did it somehow get corrupted during "when i moved them on the flashdrive"?

bit rate has got nothing to do with that, the mp3 files have corrupted when you copied them. Download them again and format the flash drive
