Search on groups.google.com a bit and you'll find that Hammerer's
contributions are usually intended to be read tongue-in-cheek.
As far as your problem is concerned, have you tried playing the mp3s
with various mp3 players on your PC? You might try to play them with
audacity (a freeware audio manipulation program) to see if they play
properly from that program. You can also put the mp3s on a memory stick
or burn 'em to cd/dvd to play them on a different computer to see if
it's likely something is wrong with your computer's settings.
You can also share one of those mp3s online and other people might try
it to see if they encounter the same problem when they play it.
