media player corrupts files

I am using vista and every song that i download or rip into my media player
becomes corrupt. at the last 20 second mark of every song it skips. it only
happens if i play the song using the media player, if i burn it on a cd it is
fine. I have downloaded all updates for media player and vista and it still
happens. the only thing i can think of is to unintall media player and
reinstall, but that doesn't appear to be a possibility. do i have any other
options?

Try posting your question to a group with "Windows" or "Media Player" in the
