One album won't play on my iPhone 4S running iOS 7.0.4. If select a song and click Play it flashes through the whole album with the play/pause button switching back and forth between play and pause - as though it played the whole album but all the songs were zero length.

I deleted all the songs in the album then re-synced from iTunes - same problem.

The tracks are Apple Lossless (ALAC) as are most of my tracks.

They were ripped from CD as FLAC and converted to ALAC using XLD - the same as with many of my CDs all of which play fine.

All the tracks on the album play OK in iTunes and if I connect my phone to PhoneView I can play the files on the phone so the music files themselves are OK.

Also, most importantly, these tracks used to play fine when I first added them - I played the album 2 or 3 times.

Looking at the music file dates in the iTunes library they were imported in August this year so would have been under iOS6. I can't remember when they stopped playing (I tend to use Shuffle most of the time) but could it be related to the iOS7 u/g, even though it doesn't seem to affect any other album?

I've found quite a few threads about non-playing music but none of them are exactly this problem.

I've re-ripped and converted to ALAC, deleted from iTunes and my phone, and re-added the new files with success and I've just finished doing a backup, factory restore, and restore of my phone yet still this album won't play.

Any ideas?
