Yeah the new ones were probably bugged. A good example is "Stupid Girl" by "Cold". Most do that. There's even one that repeats the same line over and over. BUT- I found one that did work. So my point is, if one doesn't work, try to find more... or you could always buy the CD.... it's not that expensive.....
Yeah, I'm also finding alot of songs with this problem... It seems RIAA are kicking in. The tracks of the whole album of 50 Cent - Get Rich Or Die Tryin' ripped at 192kbps are all having the same wierd sounds in them.
had the same probs while downloading evanescence songs from the album fallen.had to use a diffrent p2p program.riaa sucks.they all the time talkin bout suing ppl for copyright infringement.if they be hackin into our systems and sending us viruses i say we sue them for messin wit our system.its only fair
dasn true but i hope u didnt join the board to post that!Quote:

Just now joining in on this topic of sound distortion. I Uninstalled my older version of KL and installed the new 2.4 version yesterday. The new version is supposed to block all those nasty dogs out there trying to shut us down, including the RIAA. Last night I DL'd 2 songs by Jack Johnson and about 10 or so seconds through listening (w/ Win Media Player) the screeching noises started. The last few seconds of the songs are OK. I then tried to delete them & got a message that the songs were in use & couldn't be deleted. I tried Media Player Help, was prompted to test my drivers which I did. My computer went wacko, All displays were in HUGE disability type fonts, weird colors. I logged off & on. Ad-Aware notified me of an attempt to modify the registry. The files were sent to the Recycle Bin and are now gone, and now here I am searching the forum for an answer. I thought by downloading the latest version there would be no problems concerning the RIAA. I began to wonder if I had downloaded some bogus version of K-Lite. Any ideas ?
:unsure:
Im having the same problem with the 50 cent track P.I.M.P remix. it plays good for the first few seconds then that damn static sound comes up. what should we do about this sound on these files??!! :blink:
That's because OTHER people download the fake files from the RIAA and then you download from the other people.Quote:

By the way, most of the songs that are fake have really high bandwith(3906, 1028, etc) and if you click the + next to the file there are two users with the same name.
Example:
Bandwith
+ Blahblah - Holy Night | etc | etc | etc | 3906 | etc | etc|
Click on the + and you will have
username Bandwith
Blahblah - Holy Night | [email protected] | etc | etc | 1248 | etc | etc|
Blahblah - Holy Night | [email protected] | etc | etc | 1248 | etc | etc|
looks like all the new songs will have this nosie on it soon :(
I download loaded the P.I.M.P remix to see all what you guys were talking about and holy shit I think the RIAA has started they death march lol
edit: if that corruption fixer works its going to start looking might good around now
I'm not trying to be a smartass here, but did anyone take the time to read these articles, I don't think these are files that the AA is spreading. They tried that for the last year, problem was there were always more real than their fake, also the fakes were deleated, they coulldn't make a dent this way.Quote:

Users are ripping and sharing these files, seems some of the new CD's have data or software so that when stuck in a computer it alters the rip. It seems you can clone these CD's, with programs like Alcohol 120%, but they are problimatic in being ripped. Mac said that these CD's could cause damage to their computers and have a list of CD's that should NOT be put in their drives, as they won't warranty damage caused by them. This is a new generation. It may only be available in ISO format soon, or bin/cue, which is ok since you get the whole album that way. Or it may some type of analog recording to be able to shar future release. The AA and MS are in a mutiyear deal so that you hardware, CDR's and the like, will interface with their retail product. These articles make good reading.
For the Mya song "My love is like..wo' I just downloaded the video and then ripped the audio track from it. Tedious but effective.
I don't think is has anything to do with kazaa. check ur sound card. What about the sound with movies or games? Do they work well?
Ohh yes, that must be it for sure, just suddenly every Fast Track user has sound card failure, man your a smart one. And I DO say that with a sarcastic tone. :angry:Quote:

ok so is not just me who have this problem
i though someone hate Joe Budden songs and keep corrupting it! :)
the bit rate just go craxy after couple of seconds.
and same got with the ATB and beyonce songs.
I have the same problem too- With every other song I download. When you search for a song, try looking further down the list, usually there are uncorrupted files. Sometimes it takes 3 or 4 tries though. I suspect the RIAA is behind this, using false files. That would explain all the numbers in parenthesis after the song title, they could be used for identification purposes, they do after all, need to know which file is the real one. As for viruses, Norton hasn't picked anything up and I've run three full system scans to be sure. So thats out of the question. Hacking into other people's computers is not only illegal, but to do it on such a mass scale is impossible. Just about every song you try to download has the 13 second problem. And a damaged codec is not the problem either, some songs work just fine. So that leaves our friends at the RIAA. There's not really much we can do about it, except remove all the damaged files from our shared folders. If they are not spread, then they can't fool anyone. Hope this helps everyone!
Peace!!!

wow, could the riaa really hack into your computer and delete all your mp3s? are they allowed to do that? isnt it illegal? what about the people who dl music legally by paying .99 a track or whatever? would they know how you got them? riaa could get sued for deleting someones mp3s that they payed for. right?
i forgot to mention that i have had the sound problem on a few songs too. but i think i have found good copies of them eventually.
Yes I had the same problem with that 50 Cent song as well. I bet it is RIAA who is responsible, those stupid idiots that they are :angry: !!!
Well i'm gonna move this to musicworld, you all must hardly visit that, people there know the solution to your problems :D
Ok, since no one can click on a link and truly believes that they could spread that many fakes that fast, don't think so, then read this...
Though I hate to say it, but what else did you expect to happen. If I am not mistaken they could still be shared in cue/bin format however.Quote:
Music label BMG has licensed from SunnComm Technologies new technology designed to prevent music buyers from making unlimited digital copies of songs from its CDs.
The Bertelesmann AG division, which produces contemporary artists, including Avril Lavigne, said Monday it has begun testing CDs in the United States protected with SunnComm's MediaMax CD-3 product. However, it hasn't said when the protected CDs will go on sale.
The software lets listeners transfer music from a CD to a computer, but prevents them from then distributing that music to file-sharing services. It also allows music companies to include on the disc extras such as artist information, song lyrics, bonus tracks, video clips and special offers.
Songs on a MediaMax CD-3 can be uploaded only three times, and software built into the disc prevents listeners from copying or sharing the music.
BMG has been one of the more aggressive music labels in trying to block the copying of its CDs. The Monday announcement suggests that the company, like other labels, is looking for ways to give listeners freedom in how they listen to music while keeping them from distributing it illegally.
"We're seeing music labels and technology providers search for a middle ground in appeasing consumers while protecting their content," IDC analyst Susan Kevorkian said.
Other labels have worked to prevent the distribution of digital music with limited success. Hackers have found ways to get around high-tech blocking systems, sometimes through such low-tech means as black markers and sticky note paper.
The agreement is a multiyear deal, but the companies did not give further details.
new vinyl will come with GNPS (General Needle Positioning System) :blink:
if they want a war with their clients ... :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r:
:santa: will :nuke: them !
yea this is true about ripping the songs they have GNPS (General Needle Positioning System) i saw it on cnn butt us mods on my fourm were talking about this and one mod (madawg) told me he knew how to prevent this he told me hes devopling this program hes making it decrypts the cds 124-1,024 bit encryptions
and rips the songs off the cd into wav files then right away makes them into MP3's
cool right
also there making cds that melt wen u try to rip the songs from the cd onto your computer
This new SPAM of horrible bree of mp3's is totally a world wide slaughter for us p2pers.
First of, the main reason why there can't be found any decent mp3's is because all those new cd's (as state before in previous threads) Are from those double digit layer cd's*
At first I really didn't buy into this RIAA trying to infect fastrack... but on a closer look it is UNDENIABLE that there are some major players out there trying to get on our nerves, waste our bandwith (because ive personally downloaded about 250 megs of the same scratchy crap off those T3 servers that they have hooked up).
For all those people looking for songs like : pimp, pimp remix, my love is like whoa... do not go nuts... there ARE original versions that have not been f*ucked with out there. (I have downloaded them off of kazaa 3 weeks ago) but there are MULTIPLE users out there with there hard drives filled up the ying yang with fake files...
here is my experiment...
search for : break you off - the roots
found many files from : 3000k-6000 k all really high bandwiths (2080) with only 3 users.... then that number jumps easily to the 240 users(with the auto search more option)
then I click : find more from the same user (yoda 4778)
in the great words of mister matrix NEO ....
WOA
this guy has more mp3's they i have amassed in years of dl
he has a download bandwith of minimum 122 kbs !!!! i mean dam !
ive download 20 songs from him random types just to test... from Shania Twain to the roots... all are corrupt !!!
my guess is there just hired companys, with crazy computers, filled with f*ucked mp3s and some sick internet connection... (basically there own server) im no hacker but im guessing there IP of all those fakes most be from one or similar sources...
solutions anyone !!!????!!!
oh one last thing... has anyone else been experiencing there computer slowing down or kazaa crashing when leaving the auto search for those titles... i always leave it one while dl movies and it never fucks up... but my new theorie (and i know it sounds wild) is that not only do they have fucked up songs, but they try to prevent us from finding anyone out there who does have decent ones...
now dont get me wrong, its a super smart move from them... forcing us to buy there cd's... but what about us who sport mp3 player (IPOD !!!)
QUE VIVA LA MUSICA
*double digit layer cds
Basically cd's with two layer.
one with the songs
the other with computer stuff(flash animation...) wich is the only layer a computer will see with does kind of cds... hence making playing that cd or burning it impossible
go here read the pinned topic and your problems will be solved :)
I though it was legal and all fine and dandy to make a copy of your cd...how can they (the CD Label company), determine if you're making the copy of the CD for file-sharing purposes or you actually just wanna make a copy to your computer for whatever purposes??? If they started jackin all the newly produced CD's like this then no one would have an original copy of the CD on their comp. Just wonderin.
I just downloaded the new K++ and for some reason I can't seem to download any new music. When I download a new song, it will play normally for around 10-20 seconds and then it makes that wierd static sound for the rest of the song. Anyone else have this problem? My sister and I are totally stumped, is it the RIAA maybe? :blink:
Any idea's as to how to fix it? Thanks :)
uninstall your codecs and then download the latest kazaa lite code pack and install it. This would more than likely solve your problem. download it from the kazaa lite web site.
Read the articles in this post, in simple terms they are using software on the CD's, thus when played in regular CD there is no issue, though when played in a computer, things change. Also keep in mind it is very simple to copy by making an image file of the whole CD using programs like Alcohol 120%.Quote:

@ REALITY - I am 100% positive that this epidemic is directly related to RIAA... does anybody really believe that they could've accidently ripped a 'corrupted' music file and then spread it to thousands of users? Do people on this forum really believe that people DL music and then never listen to it? Or that once they do listen to it and realize it's a crap file that they keep it on there system to hog up they're memory, not to mention spread this infectection on to our ever so beloved P2P network? This is complete ignorence by anyone that believes these things. Now i'm not exactly sure how this is being done to us, but i'm guessing that RIAA has found a way to make sure that when i want to DL "Mya - My Love is Like" that i'm downloading a corrupted version from them. I don't know how. Maybe they've figured out a way to change the file without altering the UUHASH? I see this Copy Protected CD thing as nothing but a move of desperation and not an effective way of stopping musicswapping.
looks like riaa /cd cop shit
is gonna win
all recent songs now have this
its a bad day for filesharers all over the world
check this
http://www.chinkii.com/uploads/album...are%20evil.JPG
see
same user same file different file size this is truly fucked up
nowonder i hardly use kazaa no more
also verfied file of lumidee
is 2738kb
CopyProof appears to be a very effective idea at the moment, as we see and shall see.
@nizer
As for the AA, they have been spreading fakes for over at least a year, but have had little success for the reasons you mentioned yourself, why would people keep fakes or spread shitty files, therefore haven't you contridicted yourself here.
Dosen't it become clear there is a little more at hand considering all the tracks people are complaining about are newer releases, again read the article. It states you COULD rip the track 3 times but NOT share it, well what happens when you do, as it starts to ul from a shared folder, maybe some software or encryption craps the ul, I didn't seem to understand the details at this point however. However it seems clear that newer ARE different, remember these are not just audio CD's anymore, and of course they continue to spread fakes as well in addition to this.
As for the Hash, my understanding is that is a million to one, and if they did we would see this dilema across the board.
That doesn't make any sense... how can i go and DL a song a couple of weeks ago and now go back and DL the exact same file with the exact same hash but now come up with a corrupted version? If your copy right protection theory is correct then it would be impossible for there to even be a good version of that file to begin with. My roommate DL'd Mya's "My Love is Like" weeks ago... but when i go to try and DL the same song it comes up corrupted. I DL'd 10 different file sizes of this song and not one was good. I ended up just copying it from his computer.
Oh yea.. and how did i contradict myself??
Actually, I just wanted to make a comment here. I downloaded the new Godsmack disc faceless about two weeks ago and every track worked perfect fine. Now I came back to download the tracks again and they WERE the exact same ones I downloaded originally and a few of them were corrupted or whatever the hell you want to call it, the same way people describe, I'd play about 10 seconds of the song, and if you use winamp like I do, you see where it says the bitrate for the MP3 which the ones i downloaded were 192k....it would start jumping all over the place and then the sound would go haywire like tick tick tick tick really fast. I tried to do a test and burn these songs on CD to see if maybe it was just the mp3 player, and when i attempted to record the disc and it came to that corrupted song, the program crashed out, resulting in a bad disc, but i didn't care about that, like i said, it was test. Also, when I download tracks, I read the description like when you hold the cursor over the file name, and it brings up the info in the little box, I always download files from popular names like #teampapasremains or whatever, so that hinted to me they were the exact same ones I downloaded when the cd came out and when I came back to DL again, I got those same ones...but corrupted.....so someones dicking these files up somewhere....
Did that, but any brand new song I download still sounds wierd :(
same exact problem here... i uninstalled and reinstalled, still nothing
most likely the riaa/anti piracy agencies
very unlikely to be a codec problem
There are already 3+ threads about this topic on this forum, try goin back a page or two for more info.
Like 3rd_gen_n00b said, this is likely to be RIAA/similiar tactics.
this deserves a bump because its getting worse
Maybe there is MORE a stirr...
But what makes sense...
Fake Hashes...
Unlikely, though this could destroy KaZaa
The AA loding an intense amount of fakes...
Quite possible, but why are we keeping and sharing them
They actually cracked the network...
Couldn't say, doubt it though
Copyproof...
That's a REALITY, though is there more at hand
