Album will not resolve or play correct

I have an album that Plex just refuses to parse and play correctly. I’ve tried stripping and re-entering all of the metadata, making copies, letting Plex delete it and then replacing it with a copy. All but three of the tracks fail to parse with the following error in the Matcher and Analysis logs after the last re-add attempt:

“Dec 15, 2025 23:44:04.226 [49784] ERROR - Match: Caught exception opening file: Could not parse E:\OneDrive\Amazon Music\Philip Glass\Rework_Philip Glass Remixed\01-01- Music in Twelve Parts, Part 1.mp3 (error=-1094995529): Invalid data found when processing input”

All the affected files read and play back fine in Media Monkey and Windows Media Player. The files were originally ripped from my CD copy over a decade ago. I have no idea when this issue started - I haven’t played this album in years (yes I have a large library…)

Yes, as said in the post the files play fine in everything else I’ve tried.
