    I have my music on an external harddrive, and am copying it all to another external harddrive, but some of the songs say they're corrupted and it exits the process. So I delete the song and start IT ALL OVER. Then it happens again and again and again. What the hell? what is up?

    The songs that are reported as corrupted, can you play them in Media Player or Win Amp or any other from Original HDD, might help diagnose. If you can then can you transfer to your internal HDD. I have more steps if any of this works! Also a real very outside shot are you using caching?

    What? If you played these in the past and they worked and now you can't somthing is not right? I am confused as to why file name matters unless this is a DRM issue (downloaded from Itunes?) and even that does not affect DRM. You can not play in a media player? correct? Also called write behind caching and I doubt but somthing not right.

    Hmm. It seems you have a slightly corrupted file system..... Run a disk checking utility, and then try copying the files again...

    No that should not be the problem, I have transfered Mp3's between the two. While I have been able to play corrupted files being able to do something like play them or you know they are not corrupt because other machine shows no problem transferring, why do believe this is some problem other than what it says, corrupted? You have not posted if you can play them from original HDD, 2nd can you transfer them to your internal HDD if you can it indicates problem with 2nd HDD if can't 1st HDD or corrupt files. Do some step by step to rule in or rule out until then I doubt anyone can help. Only thing file name has ever mattered is max length of something like 120 some spaces but usually informs you of problem.
