I have a Nomad MuVo2 with a substituted 500mB drive.  It has worked
fine since I bought it, used, about a year ago.

Just recently, some (but not all) mp3 files are playing back with
distortion; they are slowed down and lowered in pitch, and sound as if
they were being played on a tape player with a sick motor.  This
happens only with mp3 files that I have downloaded from websites; it
does not happen with files that I ripped from a cd and converted to
mp3.

I didn't think this was possible with digital files.  Anyone know
what's going on, and/or how to fix it?

thanks
