Well, I don't know the cause of the problem, but at least I can tell you how to solve it:
- Download a small (64kb!) tool called MP3val:
http://mp3val.sourceforge.net/download.shtml
It doesn't even require installation, just unpack and run it.
- Scan the folder (the icon looks like a magnifying glass), the result should be "PROBLEM" for all affected files
- Click on the cogwheel (Repair) and your MP3s will be perfectly okay within seconds.
It's always good to have this tool handy, should have thought of it earlier, but I was too busy finding out what caused it in the first place...
Hope that helps!
