There is no idiot proof method so far. HOWEVER when I research this and test here's what I do.

I don't use WMP, WinAmp or such to playback. I'll grab VLC PLAYER since it won't use the Windows MP3 CODEC. This has found the issue a few times and what I do next is to SNIPE the MP3 codec out with a "CODEC SNIPER" (see google) and then I go get a new Fraunhofer MP3 Codec (see google.)

Sorry but I'm going to have to write no.
