[lug] hard drive that seems to be corrupting data

[Doug Wendel]

Related to this problem, I've noticed that using certain MP3 players
(notably the Windows Media Player) has caused this to happen. It's like it's
hard-clipping the stream, even though it should be clean. I switched to
Winamp and everything is fine. So, try another MP3 player and see what
happens.

Subject: [lug] hard drive that seems to be corrupting data


I inherited a 3.2 gig IBM Deskstar after helping someone upgrade their
computer.  I figured it would be a nice repository for my mp3's.  When I
try to copy the mp3's from some CDR's that I made, the mp3's get squeaks
and squelches in them and use cause the program I am using to play them
to die.  I checked for bad blocks on the mkfs command and it didn't seem
to turn up anything.  When I copy them to the other drive, they copy
fine.

Any ideas on what might be wrong?

Hugh
