I started playing my MP3s using Windows Media Player 10 today after a long absence from my computer. For some reason they all have this distant sounding echoey effect on them like their playing live in a big empty room or down a well, I know there are deliberate effects you can turn on to alter the effect but I haven't done this and I checked the graphic equaliser and special effects bit and they're all turned off and no-one else has used the computer so what's causing the effect on all my MP3s?

Are you sure it is the files and not the speakers themselves? Unless everything else sounds fine.
I would try re-downloading them or ripping them from a CD (however you got them) and try a higher bitrate. When MP3's first became popular, I noticed 128 KBps seemed to be "cd quality" but now it is advertised closer to 320. I prefer 192 because it gives me a decent balance of audio quality and file size.
