Title: Dumb Question of the Day-- Blue Titles
Post by: ExGeeEye on August 29, 2011, 09:46:15 PM

(And I don't mean pr0n)

I keep some media files on an external backup.  Today I was going through them to add some music to an MP3 player for a road trip and noticed some of the titles had turned blue.  Playing them produced no unexpected results.  They aren't the oldest ones, or the least played (almost nothing gets played from this XHD anyway, as it's for storage).

Can anyone shed light on this?

Windows 7 and XP Pro (depending on which computer I'm using), MP3, WAV, MP4, and WMA files.

Not sure what you mean by 'turned blue'.  Do you get a blue screen on your media player? 

Post a screen shot.

Same thing, except these are videos. Originally all these titles were in black letters.

Are they a different format to the other files ?

It helps if you have the "show extensions" option enabled and use "detail" view.
