Streaming music - can't play certain songs?

Hi, I'm trying to stream music to my Xbox 360 using WMP11.

I thought I got it all working after tinkering with firewalls and anti-virus software and whatnot but now it seems I can't play certain songs.

For example, if I try and play the album "Viva La Vida," it says that it cannot play the file and says "Status Code: 04-800703b4."

On the other hand, if I play the album "LeftRightLeftRight," it plays fine.

As far as I can tell, there is nothing different between these files. Both play fine in WMP, are in MP3 format, and their other properties are identical.

I really have no clue what the problem is; any ideas?

Looks as if your Xbox just has a good taste in music and wont play rubbish

Deftones
Thanks for the helpful response, though it doesn't make any sense considering they're both Coldplay albums...

PS: Deftones would also fall under the 'rubbish' category
