[Windows 7] Beta version can corrupt MP3 files

January 17, 2009
Updated: December 6, 2021
Quick overview:

The beta version of Windows 7 may damage an MP3 music track under certain circumstances. You should back up your MP3 collection to an external hard disk or data carrier before installing the beta version of Windows 7.

Microsoft reacted immediately and provided a patch which can be downloaded via the Windows update function.

Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in the 90s. His helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write elsewhere, for example for PC-Praxis, Computer Bild and PCWorld in the USA. Microsoft also poached him from us. Now Sandro is back, finally sharing his tweaks here again. For a stress-free digital everyday life. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
