List of Corrupted iTunes Match Songs

All the following iTunes Matched songs appear corrupted and will not do the following:

playback in iTunes
convert to 128 for syncing to iOS devices
convert to MP3/AAC/AIFF/etc

After iTunes Match and subsequently "upgrading" my library, these songs won't do any of the above. I've tried deleting them and redownloading from iCloud, but they still won't work. I've tried converting them through both iTunes and Audacity, but the files appear corrupted and will not convert.

I use a similar playlist to find matched tracks that were corrupted while downloading. The only different setting on mine is I have Kind set to is "AAC audio file".

Downloaded matched tracks should take the "Matched AAC audio file" kind. In my experience those that download but have a kind of "AAC audio file" usually do not play correctly. I've been able to delete the local file and redownload the matched track and get a good file.

I also recently had a couple tracks which could not convert to 128kbps while syncing to my iPhone. These tracks were not showing up on my corrupt files playlist and they actually played fine on my Mac. I did the same and deleted the local file and redownloaded and the sync worked after that.

50% sounds like a lot to try and correct. I would personally start over from the originals.
