The screeching sound and loops are put on by record companies to stop ppl dlding the file and buy it. it normally happens with popular songs and new songs.

You know there is a simple solutions here. Granted it may be more time consuming. But if you got the patience, simply download several variations of any particular song and simply skim through each one to hear whether or not those screeching sounds are in them and if they are, just immediately delete the file. What's left over you can choose the one with the best bitrate.
The point is that there will ALWAYS be a fine quality version of any song new or old that hasn't been tampered with or ripped by a means that bypasses any sabotage methods.
By the way, the group known as Da Band also has screeched songs floating around out there. Just thought I'd point that out.
Looped songs seem to be on the rise as well.
Some of the record companies not assoicated with the RIAA have different methods of deturing your downloads.
What a long post of drivel, with a few gems of logic! I haven't downloaded any songs recently, but I can tell from reading the posts that the RIAA has found a flaw to exploit. Kazaa looks for files with matching data in the header, and the RIAA hacks can insert this number in even though they are supplying a noisy file.
Can they do this? You bet! The technology is there, and they OWN the copyright.
So how do you tell a pickle from a cucumber? Use your nose! It's harder than it used to be, sure. None of the solutions is perfect or permanent (yet). The RIAA can circumvent many of the solutions proposed here. We've just got to make them work for it. I'm certain they heartily enjoyed watching and taking part in this post.
Me thinks it may be necessary to establish trusted contacts within the p2p net.

If everyone agressivley deleted the infected files then the RIAAs job would be made much harder and more costly. Seeing as they will have to apply more time and resources to planting the corrupted files. Untill some script kiddie finds a way to code a solution it should be our goal to make the RIAAs life just that little bit harder.
And just for the benefit of all who are reading this, all 200 (my computer is underpowered and overcramped) of the music files that I share are certifiably clean of RIAA syndrome.
It can't just be new songs, because i spent over an hour today trying to download twenty ABBA songs. There were thousands of sources, as you can imagine, and NINETEEN of the TWENTY songs were corrupted in exactly the same way all of you have sed. After about seventeen seconds a great screeching sound comes into play.
I thought it might just be a problem with my speakers so i uploaded the songs onto minidisc, regardless. The screeching sound persisted on the MD too, so i was helpless there.
I was glad to come on the forum and find this topic pinned, but there's still no help available.
I downloaded many of the songs many times (3 or 4 times each song) from all different, but it didnt help. Every song was corrupted.
I also tried downloading Kelly Clarkson's "The Trouble With Love Is" and that was corrupted also.
What the hell can i possibly do to fix this?
Having the same problem
I don't know what to do!!!!

I've been having this problem for a couple of months. Any way around it???
Also, over the past week in the lower right corner it says sharing no files, when there's plenty in my shared folder. Any ideas???
Good, no one should be listening to "Da Band".Originally posted by Kevin Phoenix@13 November 2003 - 05:57
