iTunes has trouble recognizing some files

This morning I was trying to play an album, but iTunes was not playing it. For some reason, 3 or 4 songs were working and the rest were not.

The album art was not showing for the ones that were not playing either.

So I removed the album and then added it again, but this time iTunes only added the 3 or 4 songs it could play before.

If I play the files outside of iTunes it they work. For some reason iTunes is not recognizing them.

Weird, because the album was working before.

Any idea how to fix this?

P.S. I have the latest version too.
 
Might be something to do with the path of the file. Try moving the album to another directory on your PC. Sounds weird, but I have heard of that happening before, although I don't know why :s

Alternatively, you could try re-encoding the mp3's, using VBRfix:

Tried moving it around, didn't work. :/

I'll stay from re-encoding cause I'm ana.l about quality :p

Edit: Damn filter.
 
I know you said they used to work OK, but have you verified the V3 tags are complete?

As a stretch, could also try un-installing iTunes.

I did the latest update to iTunes today and that didn't solve it, so I didn't try uninstalling.

However, I've reacquired the music and it works again. :p
 
Probably something with the tags then, although strange since they used to work.

Glad it worked out, either way ;)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
