Corrupt MP3 files

After copying a collection of approximately 8000 MP3 files from a Windows 7-based computer to my ReadyNAS Duo V2, I have noticed that many of the MP3 files have become corrupt during the transfer process. When playing a song, parts of the song are mixed with other songs from the collection.

Volume scan at reboot returns no errors.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any known resolution to the problem?

  • Hello,

    are you in production or playing any files while preforming the backup? If so try to close all connections and reimplement the back up.
  • I enabled the ReadyNAS FTP service and re-transferred the entire collection from my PC via a FileZilla FTP client instead of copying via a drive mapping in Windows Explorer. This workaround solved the problem. My confidence in Netgear dropped a couple of points, though - shouldn't be this cumbersome.
