Thats really weird. This is going to sound petty but have you ran a virus scan?

Viruses can effect any file on your computer including media files such as mp3's. I haven't heard of any that will speed them up most just make them unplayable. Try opening them in a different program and see if there still messed up. If they are your going to have to download them all again.
First I would try running a anti-virus programs like Avast and SpyBot just to make sure everything thats infecting your computer is gone. |

I've never used spyware doctor but my friend does and it works ok for him. I like to use Avast and Spybot S&D instead. |
