Crossposting this between here and the iPod thread...

So, I didn't like how most of my music had no album artwork on my iPod, so thanks to a combination of Foobar, MusicBrainz, Mp3tag, and MediaMonkey, I got all my 4000+ songs retagged and art'd. I usually use MediaMonkey to sync my iPod, but I decided to try out Foobar. Restored my iPod to factory settings just to make sure that all my mp3s got transferred over fresh with the new tags (probably unnecessary, but oh well). After syncing, I got an error that a few songs (~20) couldn't be parsed. Weird, they play fine in Foobar and WMP, and play fine in MediaMonkey. But, when I go to play them on my iPod, the album art shows up, but they just skip past.

What brings this into iTunes realm, is that they also won't add into my iTunes library, even though they play fine in Foobar/WMP/whatever. I'm thinking that's why they won't play on my iPod either (maybe they use the same decoding architecture or whatever). Any idea why iTunes wouldn't play my mp3s? It's only for 4-5 albums I think, but still it's annoying.

edit-- By the way, all these songs worked fine before the tagging process.
