Okay, so does anyone have any real solutions to this, or do I just keep reading about more people with the same problem?

ok to clear this up
RIAA has spread mp3s with annoying "noises" in them to stop p2p (peer2peer [for the slow kids]) users from downloading and sharing them, but the common KaZaA (KMD) user doesn't know a thing about it so, they keep on sharing them thinking it's their computer messing up or so on..
im guessing their is a program that the riaa uses to cut out parts and replace wit the noise
the only tips i could give u is to get the newst kazaa lite vers (K++ and kazaa lite have merged)
and to use the search filters, like enter the name of the artists,bitrate,qaulity AND most important - now the files wit more ppl are bad
wow - this is the first time i've heard of this bein a problem!
that sounds really strange 2 me - <_<
i sure wish klite had a faq. :)
Must read the NEW(BIE) FAQ.
i hope u know i was bein a smart ace.Quote:

smart ass would be more fitting :D
:angry: i have downloaded the newest version, like for instance, i got a song that had like 1200 users with it and it still had screech noises.........so ANNOYING.........and the song is like a month old already.
:ermm:
<_<
So if it is a hashing exploit that some organisation (RIAA or hacker or ...) is exploting, does that mean that every new song traded within the network from now will have the problem?
Or just the 'infected' files which have been added recently?
I have downloaded every version of a john mayer song I could find - none work.
This may be the end of kazaa as we know it unless they fix this exploit quickly - people will look for other progs/P2P network apps immediately. There goes their advertising revenue (are you listening kazaaaa?)
:(
damm screeching :angry:
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.

:angry: tsk tsk...thats what u get for searching for single mp3's
i promise i wont do it again, it looked like an ok file, it was 320 bitrate too.
good boy...and don't trust any single file :)Quote:

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:

the file u downloaded is a fake!
the noise comes from the file - some bastards try to share and distribute them all over kazaa.
unfortunately there r a lot of fakes out there, especially new music.
in the beginning play all downloaded files first to find out whether they're fakes or not.
how can i play them, before i download?
Right click on the download and press preview!
first read all about it here: http://www.klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=49358Quote:

then, erase the file and prevent it spreading even more.
BOT, please merge this http://www.klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=67110
I too am getting these strange noises. I think everyone is getting the same screeching noise. Anyway....I tried to download some newly released songs and they all had that noise. Then I tried an older song like Back in Black, and nothing. I tried this over and over with different new songs...the same thing. I think it is the RIAA.
As far as I'm concerned, this is just a speed bump they are trying to set up. Someone will eventually make a program or a patch that will bypass, delete, or identify these crap music files. It's only a matter of time.
As for file sharing.........IT WILL NEVER STOP! There will always be ways around everything that is tried to stop it.
Electronic media...it's a bitch to control!
Has anyone been downloading any tunes lately, specifically say...the daredevil soundtrack and found halfway into the song it sounds like someone dialed a non-working number, it goes beep beep beep, and then the song continues?
SOOOOO many people are sharing these. How could they have no idea and not delete them.
Here is a quick work around, if you find a particular song ALWAYS having beeps, type the title and artist in the "advanced search screen", and then type....
"no beeps" in the the top search box and check all. Now it will search for "no beeps" somewhere in the song description.
yes as long as somebody bothered to put that in the detailsQuote:

Yeah basically you have to hope someone was nice and said it was a good version
I'm gonna go through all 1400 or so of my MP3 files and start adding that to the description.
One at a time.
Oh, wait a minute.
No I'm not.
if every body was going to be that smart, you would not have to do that to begin withQuote:

You only need the description if its for a music file thats IMPOSSIBLE to find without the bleeps.
EVERYONE,
Instead of talking about this problem more, does anyone have any suggestions to stop these files from spreading?
I have a suggestion even though it may take some time to see results.
There are Kazaa users out there who are oblivious to this even happening, and they keep spreading the bad mp3's around. I thought about maybe spreading around a notepad file or any file that said a message in the title to delete these bad mp3's. This would bring some attention to it. I would put it in the Title and Description areas so they would see it just from a search, and not have to open the file. Keywords that relate to this problem could be used for the search results. Put it in CAPS>
Example...
DELETE ALL BAD MP3'S
DELETE SCREECHING SONGS
There are a lot of us on this board and those small messages can spread like wild fire. I think something can be done about it.
Let me know what you think. If someone has a better idea, good! Post it!
i think thats a good idea but will it work? it should shouldn't it?
If it is the RIAA it not the good peeps spreading this sh*t around, its them and we can help the fact that some RIAA jackass is on kazaa spreadin bad stuff around. If NOBODY attempts to download the "3206" or something like that bandwidth files they will stop doing it.
B) There are a few tracks out there that have weird sounds in them; likely recorded improperly. I have Joe budden W/O the extra sounds.
SCAN ALL FILES FOR VIRUSES

glad someone read th pinned thread :)
