bizarre shared folder issue

I have 2 machines, one with 2 nic's and ICS, the server has XP pro and the second is xp home. The server has the mp3 folder shared (it's a large folder obviously) and I can browse the folder from the second no problem. The problem is when I try to copy or play SOME of the songs, they don't work. For example, there's a folder with 20 songs, and I can encue them all in winamp from the second, and the titles all come up, but I can only play 3 of the songs. Neither of the computers has the build-in firewall or zonealarm installed. Both just use TCP/IP. How is this possible? And is there any solution? When I try to copy a file I get the error: access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use.

I added Netbeui, but it didn't acomplish anything. I thought maybe it was a fragmented file issue, so I ran defrag, but it still is doing this. How is it possible to have the folder shared, but only have some of the files in the folder accessable and others not? I'm near the point of ripping the machine apart and moving the hard drive to the other machine. This is rediculous.
