"Most people in the file sharing community know by now about the corrupted mp3's that have spread around. It seems that most of the new/popular songs have been corrupted and seeded by the RIAA. You'll notice that the first 20 seconds or so of a song will sound fine, and then get garbled into a screechy sound."

System Scan
###########################
QUOTE
MP3 Shield is designed to scan MP3 files while being downloaded, but it is also possible to scan your existing MP3 collection for corrupt files, thus preventing their further dissemination.
To perform a system scan, first right-click on the MP3 Icon on the system tray, choose "System Scan", then press the "Browse" button to choose the desired directory to scan. The scanning process can take some time, especially if you have a big music collection. Nevertheless, it is recommended that you perform a full system scan every time we update our filtering algorithms.
After completing the system scan, MP3 Shield will list the names of all corrupted files found, and you'll be able to play a selected MP3 file, delete it, or simply delete all corrupted files with one click.
