I already said what the simpel solution was

2 things

screechign is casued by bad encoding I work with radio and almost got the sack once ofr f*ck up a commercial from it

another thing

it is possible that the RIAA have made thease bad encodes

heres what I think happens

RIAA worker makes a track called Evanscenes Falling its badly corruped of course

kazaa noob user sees it 2 months before release and doesn't realise its too early download it fast

then next person spreads spreads they dont bother to delete

another thing

ppl keep telling me PG is great blocks the RIAA

so when we all download screeching mp3s ??? how does it help if its supposingly the RIAA spreading them??

third post, woo hoo, go me

three things: first, i URGE everyone to ignore my posts, as they are usually written very early in the morning while under the impression of multiple mental and chemical imbalances. sleep deprivation being the most rampant.

second of all, thanks adster, for NOT maliciously attacking my ramblings and assorted coffee remarks. its appreciated.

lastly, i don't appreciate being called an idiot.

that being said, i'll move on

sharing music may not be illegal, but copyright infringment is, and they are nothing the same.

sounds good, but from the RIAA's standpoint it isn't true. thats the basis of their intire argument. they claim-i say "claim" b/c i don't have a copy of the friggin contract for copyright right here in front of me-that by "sharing" or downloading music that you haven't paid for, while others have, you are in violation of said laws. forthwith (lol, i just wanted to use that word), if you purchase any music, on any medium, you are bound to not reproduce that music in any fashion (views of RIAA and some CD labels, possibly all).

the thing that i wonder about is how do they think that 1/3 to 1/2 of these songs get out here? where i live, KISS 95.1 is the best station for popular music. all you need is a simple 3-10 dollar cable from radio schnack to connect the boombox to the computer, a decent software package, and good radio signal. convert the wav file to mp3 if thats how your's records, and there you go. as far as liscensing fee's go, the stations-or their corresponding company owners-make every bit of that money back on ads, and in many cases more so.

and with the advent of DISH and DTV's digital music channels, plus XM radio and other satellite radio broadcasters, its easier than ever to just rip the songs out of the air than to even bother with going to the store to get the CD.

i tried to read my first post, but i got confused, so i apologize to everyone who tried to read it as well.

and i agree with one of the earlier posts...if it is the RIAA doing this to the MP3s, isn't that just as illeagal as what we're doing? or would they just hire some tech lev. 5 to do this in his-or her- spare time?

and i'm still DL'ing, even while i type.

feel free to comment, just leave off on the name calling. not only is it disrespectful to ppl that you don't even know, but its disrespectful to ppl that you possibly DO know, and thats even worse. and what if i were some psycho-hacker? not that i am, but you just don't know anymore. my kid brother could be for all i know.

ps, anyone have a link to the winMX DL? i'm too lazy to go look for it
ps2, sux....lol

Sorry to Pooh-Pooh your concept, but i would never rip music off radio, because they all use limiting and compression on the output and a lot of time they sound bad.
The end result is inferior sounding songs which is just as bad as having corrupted ones IMHO

The Screetching is the RIAA. What they have done is very sneaky. Somehow they have found a way to spoof the hashing system. Here is what they do.

They do a search for a popular song say "remedy" By jason mantz

Using a legit copy of kazaa, they look at the search packets to find the hash that the legit file shows up as.

They have either a hacked copy of kazaa or more likely a program that edits the outgoing packets so that the hash that gets reported to the fast track network is the same as the hash for the valid file.

They send the screetching file as with the legiitmate hash.

The problem is they are sending it from a direct T3 connection with low latency. When you click on the file, you try to download from wherever it is avialable. Unfortunately, since RIAA has lots of bandwith, sooner or later you get some part of the file from them. THis is why the screetching is in different parts of the song every time you try to download. Solution try to download from an individual person.

A better solution would be a tool that would identify the ip addresses for each user that way when you get a suspicious user with 10 copies of a song, you could block that IP. THe RIAA people dont let you search user which makes it harder to identify that user individually.

i used to have the problem with the screeching sounds in the music files, but then i deleted them and i dowloaded another music file and well t isnt happening to me any more now

i had exspecially problems with every version of this tracks:

Lumidee - Never leave you

and

Joe Budden - pump it up

ciao

That Lumidee track is the first one that I had this problem with. Nearly drove me crazy trying to get a clean copy of it. In the end I limited the download to come from no more than three sources, and I got it OK.

BTW, if you get a corrupted copy, delete it straight away, otherwise you're just making the problem worse by sharing it with others.

@ NetworkMaster

Nice post, and I agree with You.

I can't stand fakes any longer!!! If you do find a working song, how about labeling the song by putting a *non-fake* tag before the song... This can be done by going to My Kazaa Lite K++ -> Right Click on file and then go to edit details then filling out the appropiate box. or simply renaming the song.

Then this will make sure that we don't waste time downloading screeching,looping etc.. dodgy files.
