Well, find a couple "failed" files and see what soxi has to say
about them.  Or maybe stat or stats.

I can't see your files, so I can't even guess how they might have
"failed".  Do they sound wrong?  Do they stop playing?  Do they
skip?  Do they not play at all?  Is the extension incorrect?

My course of action would be to use command line tools
to try to find a way to spot the "failed" files.  Once you know
what is wrong, then there is a chance for a shell script to sort
them out.  But until you - or we - have some clue as to how they
failed, there is little chance of success.
