Rhythmbox will not play some mp3 files

[shadowwyvern]

Just as the thread title says, Rhythmbox will not play some mp3 files. It skips over them when adding media to the library, and will skip to the next song in any list when you try to play them explicitly. No errors ar kicked out the the command line when I attempt to play these files. Are they just malformed (vlc plays them fine)?

Thanks in advance

EDIT: I should say that Rhythmbox plays most mp3s without any problem at all.

On the left where it says 'Library' there should be a little tab you can expand and that will let you see the errors.

All I have on my side panel is Play Queue, Library, Podcasts, Radio, a divider then Recently added/Played and Top Rated. Though I felt really dumb doing it, I clicked on basically every line, corner, text, etc in that area, and there was no "show errors" option. version is 0.9.8.

Is there an arrow to the left of 'Library'? Expand it and any errors should be shown there.

Have you checked permissions of the files. If they are in other directories, have you checked the directory permissions?

95% of the time the problem is about permissions.

Permissons are not the problem. All these files are mounted on an NTFS-3G volume, and everyone has full permissions.

I do get an error. "Problem occured without error being set. This is a bug in Rhythmbox or Gstreamer"

Thanks for your patience.
