I have never downloaded a song with the "blank noise" but I don’t download any rap/hip hop/pop and those are the most effected.
Some of my friends have downloaded a few bad songs.

Just to clear this up for everyone:
No, the screeching noise is NOT a virus. The screeching noises you hear are mp3s that are being distributed over the network by both the music industry (in a futile attempt to discourage us) and by those who don't know any better and rip a copy protected cd and share it.
The screeching noise you hear is ACTUAL sound information recorded in the file (I do music editing and just opened it up in sound forge)...
So don't worry about some virus, just get the latest banned ip files from www.k-lite.tk and that helps reduce it. If you do get a screecher just keep searching for the song and eventually you will get a good one... since the screeches start fairly early in the song, it shouldn't be too hard to just preview what you have downloaded to make sure.
For the admins/programmers:
Something I noticed when I opened up some of the screechers is this: some of them seem to cut out either the left or right channel COMPLETELY... I was wondering if it would be possible to write something into klite (perhaps a plugin?) that examines the data in the mp3 file periodically as it downloads... if it encounters what it thinks is a bad mp3, it could (according to your specifications) flag it, cancle the download, or continue. When flagged the text in your traffic window for the bad file would turn red, thus warning you to preview it and make sure it is ok. Most of the screechers I have heard also use repetative patterns at extremely loud volume... would it be possible to write something to recognize that as well?
Thanks for klite.. it kicks ass!! I hope this helped some people out! :D
[SIZE=7]The Screeching sounds are fake copies of popular files. I haVE TRIED TO DOWNLOAD COLD STUPID GIRL AND THEY HAVE PUT OUT SO MANY FAKES THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET UNLESS YOU SET KAZAA TO DOWNLOAD FROM ONLY ONE PERSON AT A TIME BECAUSE IF YOU DOWNLOAD THE SOME FROM 20 DIFFERENT PEOPLE DURING THE DOWNLOAD YOU ARE BOUND TO GET A BAD PART IN THERE SOMEWHERE. aFTER SETTING IT TO DOWNLOAD FROM ONLY ONE PERSON I GOT THE GOOD FILE. IT MAY BE A LITTLE SLOWER BUT IF IT IS SOMETHING YOU WANT THATS HOW TO GET IT WITHOUT THE BAD PARTS. hOPE THIS MAKES SENSE TO YALL LOL.
Yes it makes complete sense...and great taste in music with Cold :)Quote:
