When I brosw Mp3s on my dads computer the CPU usage rises to 100%. This only happens WITH MP3's so i think the way my dad converts files is with DBpoweramp. I'm going to copy my mp3s that i ripped from my cds that were done differently to see if it happens, but I really dont understand the problem.

Anthrax MP3's? *rimshot*

It appears that something (maybe windows media) is scanning the mp3 files for properties/tags
