One more point of info:

I just downloaded different mp3s of 2 of the problem songs. I ripped the
originals myself - so I know these are different rips, most likely from a
different encoder & codec (I use Xing AudioCatalyst - not a common codec).
Same result. Very strange.

If anyone's interested in taking a look at the files I can mail them or
stick them up somewhere. The 2 songs I confirmed this on were "A Place
Called Home" by PJ Harvey & the version of "Central Reservation" by Beth
Orton on the "Bounce" soundtrack.

thanks
