After updating music collection, some files don't play

All the MP3's in my music collection play fine in Windows Media Player. I occasionally add to the collection and use MediaMonkey to catalog them and keep the tags current.

However, after adding to my collection yesterday, some of my existing songs no longer play in WMP:
"Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file".

I tried playing these same tracks that I had backed up on another drive, and I get the same result.

I'm suspecting it's nothing MediaMoney did, but rather some codec issue that triggered. Might you agree? If so, how do I "revert" to Windows 7's working MP3 codec rather than having to download a codec pack?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
