I have found several hundred corrupted files while compiling several albums for my friend. It would seem that the RIAA is either inserting or blocking out parts of some tracks with high-pitched tones, sounds, Etc.
Luckily, none of MY artists have been affected yet. LOL.
I have found a remedy and it works 80% of the time. You can use "Roxio's Sound Editor" (virgin 6.0 - 6.2) to remove the unwanted sounds pretty easily, even if they are in the middle of the track. Then save your new edited virgin. In most cases, you can't even tell that the song has been edited!!!!!!!!!!! (Especially when doing DMX, Ludacris and the like - LOL! The gift CD's for my friend). You onlu loose a few seconds most of the time.
I learned to do it in 30 minutes without reading the manual. What's a manual?
I find it rather bizarre that "the mainstream artists" who I listen to have not had the RIAA do this yet on Kazaa, yet the RIAA has apparently taken this action on behalf of the "anti-establishment artists" who encourage such behavior and worse in their songs.
How positively ironic!!!!!
