Help "Unable To Play This Type of Audio File"???

I transferred a number of MP3 files to my SD card via USB. The audio player could see them but will only play about half of them. The others display "Unable To Play This Type of File". I turned off my EVO. Tried unmounting and remounting SD card. Downlowded another audio Player (PowerAmp), with same issues. These files are from my ITunes library. They are all MP3s. They are different bitrates, but I wouldn't think that would make a difference. I just dragged them over from a Windows 7 computer. Any Suggestions?
 
Music purchased through Itunes are NOT MP3s. That's why I do not purchase from Apple. I said they are in my ITunes Library. All music is DRM Free.
 
I dont know that much about SD Media. Is it possible that the 32GB sd card I purchased has bad sectors. It was formatted within the phone. All the Apps on it seem to work fine.
 
I tried downloading MP3s from MP3 Music Downloader and am having issues with those songs as well. I'm starting to think it is a problem with the SD Micro card. The 3 Music apps installed have the same problem with the song files. Any other ideas?
 
ITS THE FREAKIN SD CARD!!! I took out the 32GB card and reinstalled the 8GB one. Transferred the music exactly the same way and worked perfectly. I guess thats a lesson not to buy SD Micro cards off of Ebay. I logged into my Ebay account to contact seller and there was a message from Ebay saying that the seller was selling counterfeit Sandisk cards. Hopefully I can get my $70 back. lol
 
Yep, unfortunately there are a lot of fake 32gb cards on ebay. A LOT. Hopefully you will get your money back. I would HIGHLY recommend buying from an authorized retailer like NewEgg.

Well if ebay knows about it, hopefully they are working on getting the seller to refund everyone. If not, you can contact PayPal and do a dispute, however it takes forever to make a dispute through paypal. Also, if neither of those work, contact your credit card company, and cancel the payment through them.
