What does "header not found" mean while batch processing mp3?

Can you post the complete error message? It could mean that it choked on a file in your music collection that is not WAV, AIFF, or MP3.

It doesn't stick, it passes the files up and give the error...

"6blocc - red fiyah dub.mp3:.WAV.AIFF header not found, and failed to decode MP3!"

That's the full error message. It just goes onto the next file....I don't know what is different about this and a few other files.

That means the program failed to recognize that file as a valid MP3. The way to fix this problem is to use iTunes to re-encode that MP3 and also strip out the album artwork.

you recomend itunes the most for song organization?

Well, I don't know about song organization. There are, of course, a gazillion programs you can use for song organization. The main thing I like to use iTunes for is to encode MP3's that I know will work with my software

Many other MP3 encoders are not so sure to produce files that will work with Ms Pinky. Plus, iTunes is free, right? So why not?
