Validating MP3s?

[Gunnar]

I was wondering if there was a way to validate/fix an MP3 once its been downloaded/ripped. I have several MP3s which I cannot seem to get to play completely in my iPod, and I think its due to an encoding glitch of some sort. Can I fix these songs? Does that mean they need to be encoded again?

Thanks for the info.

I don't think MP3s have checksums built into them. I could be wrong.

Even a corrupt MP3 will generally play. It might sound awful and have lots of wierd noises... but it should still play.
