Well if you want insight just read this nwhole post with the links...

I'm not trying to be a smartass here, but did anyone take the time to read these articles, I don't think these are files that the AA is spreading. They tried that for the last year, problem was there were always more real than their fake, also the fakes were deleated, they coulldn't make a dent this way.

Users are ripping and sharing these files, seems some of the new CD's have data or software so that when stuck in a computer it alters the rip. It seems you can clone these CD's, with programs like Alcohol 120%, but they are problimatic in being ripped. Mac said that these CD's could cause damage to their computers and have a list of CD's that should NOT be put in their drives, as they won't warranty damage caused by them. This is a new generation. It may only be available in ISO format soon, or bin/cue, which is ok since you get the whole album that way. Or it may some type of analog recording to be able to shar future release. The AA and MS are in a mutiyear deal so that you hardware, CDR's and the like, will interface with their retail product. These articles make good reading.

For the Mya song "My love is like..wo' I just downloaded the video and then ripped the audio track from it. Tedious but effective.

I don't think is has anything to do with kazaa. check ur sound card. What about the sound with movies or games? Do they work well?

Ohh yes, that must be it for sure, just suddenly every Fast Track user has sound card failure, man your a smart one. And I DO say that with a sarcastic tone.

I have the same problem too- With every other song I download. When you search for a song, try looking further down the list, usually there are uncorrupted files. Sometimes it takes 3 or 4 tries though. I suspect the RIAA is behind this, using false files. That would explain all the numbers in parenthesis after the song title, they could be used for identification purposes, they do after all, need to know which file is the real one. As for viruses, Norton hasn't picked anything up and I've run three full system scans to be sure. So thats out of the question. Hacking into other people's computers is not only illegal, but to do it on such a mass scale is impossible. Just about every song you try to download has the 13 second problem. And a damaged codec is not the problem either, some songs work just fine. So that leaves our friends at the RIAA. There's not really much we can do about it, except remove all the damaged files from our shared folders. If they are not spread, then they can't fool anyone. Hope this helps everyone!
Peace!!!

wow, could the riaa really hack into your computer and delete all your mp3s? are they allowed to do that? isnt it illegal? what about the people who dl music legally by paying .99 a track or whatever? would they know how you got them? riaa could get sued for deleting someones mp3s that they payed for. right?

i forgot to mention that i have had the sound problem on a few songs too. but i think i have found good copies of them eventually.
