The SBBOD (Spinning Beach Ball Of Death) happens when OS-X thinks it's taking too long to access the hard drive--or other storage medium. That and Sudden Computer Insanity happen when you run out of hard drive. No production machine should be over 90% full, and that's the worst case condition. Many ...

You know it's an MP3 because you can see the .mp3 on the end of the filename? Open the file in QuickTime Player and Press Apple-I to get the INFO panel. What does that say?
