Mp3 Files That Play But Have No Sound

[cr2]

I have downloaded on two occasions the same audio files from different sources and the files show as playing in RealPlayer and Windos Media Player but there is no sound.

Does anyone know what is going on?

Thanks. :huh:

MP3's?

Could be another codec is needed, doubt it tho'

Cold be fakes.

What p2p program do you use?

[cr2]

What are fakes anyway?

I thought maybe they were recorded wrong but I have downloaded from different users.

Again, what is p2p? I use Kazaa Lite ++ and have had no problem with any other files.

Check it out for yourself, search for the group "The Lonely Boys"

Thanks for your help. :smilie4:

I don't use kazaa, it's kinda' dead.

Try soulseek.

A fake might be a file someone made to take a pish at others, sort of a kazaa "humour" thing.

"I recorded 3 minutes of nothing, hahah"


And the fact that several users have it prolly means that they haven't checked the files yet, typical n00b thing, or it might be sort of like that clever RIAA trick the screechy MP3 (http://filesharingtalk.com/index.php?act=Search&CODE=show&searchid=75d091e6e89a036f1f228afad5567489&search_in=posts&result_type=topics&highlite=screechy).


p2p=peer to peer, like kazaa or soulseek.

I can see how people may become driven to download everything that's available without checking their files; that's probably what's happened.

I am pleased with Kazaa but also new to filesharing. I will follow your advice and try soulseek.

SNNY, I appreciate for your help. :)

:rolleyes: Moron. Real Media and Microsoft are 2 of the shittiest, overbloated, privacy-invading software makers. :angry:

Get yourself a real mp3 player like Winamp (http://www.winamp.com) or something. :01:

:huh: And are your speakers and volume high enough?

If you must use real player because you have alot of shitty real media files then download Real Alternative (http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Real_Alternative.htm) and then if you get winamp, Tara (http://www.winamp.com/plugins/details.php?id=22143) will allow you to play Real media files. Or you can just use Media Player Classic that comes with the program to not only replace windows media player but Real Player. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone. :)
