Strange Sound, Screeching Songs...et Cetera

[SpecialAgentPunk]

the RIAA can't legally do this, can they? Even if we are stealing their blahdfkjslakfjds...?

Yep, podibug has hit the nail on the head here.

I hope the developers read this so they can try to fix the problem.

I have a solution to the problem::

go here and look at the post buy brownguy02:
http://forum.win-drivers.co.uk/index.php?s...opic=3144&st=0&
download the attached program installer and run it. it will place a program called "noel's mp3 scanner" on your desktop. simply place this program inside your music directory and run it to scan your downloaded files. it will automatically find corrupted songs with the screeching noise and place them in a quarentined folder inside of your music folder. just do this before you burn a cd and then you wont end up with the crap on it and you'll know which songs you need to redownload. also.. delete the songs once they go into the quarentined folder. if we continue to allow corrupted music to be shared on the kazaa network, things will only get worse. please distribute this installer as widely as possible. the more people we can get to rid their music libraries of corrupted riaa songs, the less problems all of us will have downloading.
again, the link is here:

look at the post by brownguy02.
please post this installer on other forms or host it and provide a better link to the program. thank you.

It's not really a solution though. Unless everyone adopts it the screeching songs will remain.

ok......

I apologize for my first post being huge


My findings on the situation-

I don't think this has to do with new cds- I was trying to download jimi hendrix songs and it was screwing up...

I don't think it has to do with the file being screwy on person no 1s computer- That would not have caused the file transfer to speed up drastically.... I mean to 5x the normal speed (I use dialup and downloads seldom exceed 2kps- theese files were goin at 10kps, typically in the middle of the download. it's slow as usual in the begining of the song, then in the middle it speeds up like nuts, then at the end of the song it slows down again... maybe the horrible grating sound I hear in the middle of the song is somehow proportional to the size of the song...look for a pattern guys)

I do believe the money making part of the industry has something to do with it- the only problems that ever ocurred for me showed up as I was trying to download a file that was owned by a massive amount of people... and big organizations do their best work when the masses are involved...I stick to excellent file rating files that only one user has, no problem...

I would also like to point out that it is more than likely a LACKEY from the RIAA, probably SERVERAL of them, reading this forum and getting a huge kick out of how defenseless we are, and everytime we post about some pattern we saw, they deal with it... remember, they have a huge amount of money.

I think it has to do with the servers they are uploading them from... I think SOMEHOW they have found a way to force the download to come in at a crazy rate, scrambling it to shit. I also thin a lot of the people have stopped using kazaa already because of this, and most of what is left are the mindless song downloading drones with broadband and RIAA lackeys, neither of which are going to "weed out" the bullshit.

MY solution would be this... make a new client, and whenever the pattern I mentioned before in a transfer comes up, cut the supliers account, end it once and for all right there. Give people that aren't doing it willingly a warning and a few weeks to fix it, the bam, hit everybody screwing with the system hard.

I see this as the most final way of doing it....or something similar to this (if you find a better way to catch whoever is fucking with these song download)

if you find they are NOT the ones suplying the download but are intercepting the downloads somehow, they must be hacking into the server... which is illegeal (not to mention uncharacteristic, but then again they have started using our tactics against us) and Kazaa could fight back with a lawsuit of its own...show them we can play their game... keep in mind they have a lot of money....

there is a solution to every problem, and the best place to start with this one is to find patterns... that's the way computers are.

that even a more huge post

Guys guys.... listen. Let's not get carried away, ok? Fact is that the mp3's are getting fucked, deliberately! We should try getting the corrupted songs out before to download them. I'm sorry but I know for sure a lot of people are unaware of the urgency of this. So... try to check everything before you share. In the meantime the guys from KazaaLite++ will surely come up with a solution. What reminds me, these guys do this for fun.... DONATE..

Well I have the same problem. And it doesn't matter if it's a new song or and oldie. One thing I know is that it's caused by only one comapny (man). When you open the mp3 file in a wordpad or something like this you'll see that there is a pattern - the same in every mp3. I've tried to download many mp3 - till now - with no succes. I hope the same thing won't happend to the movies.
I think it's not a big problem to write a programm which would "catch" the bad files, but it will only work if this programmm would be a part of Kazaa. If there won't be any patch soon then Kazaa will be one big chaos.
