The Winamp decoder said all the files had headers that started at some random place like 27 bytes or 49 bytes, rather than at 0 bytes were they were supposed to be and that's why Napster rejected them. I suspect it was their way of filtering out the bad MP3's (even thoug Winamp plays those files just fine).
Memories... Ye I had same problems back in Napster era, it was all ripped by RealJerk Box adding 64K ID3V2 tag (front of MP3 file) for no reason, had to use mp3Trim to clean offset.

Is there way to detect re-encoded files other than ears?
