MP3 Music
 

For some reason, most of the mp3's I download of Kazaa etc... play weird.

They play fine at the beggining but then the sound goes really weird and the slider bar on winamp goes back and the bitrate seems to go down really quickly?

Weird or what? Whats the prob?

Dunno - but i've downloaded stuff that starts ok then just plays a load of noise - just to stop us downloading i guess!! :(

Same here, downloaded and then very strange noise in middle of some tracks.

It is rumoured that the record companies are flooding the various networks (Kazaa etc) with dodgy mp3s. It is to stop people downloading.

*******s! They will never stop it, now is the time for them to offer something.

All my music is fine that i download and play. Nothing weird there.

I can't find a link, but I heard something lately about the record companies using an exploit in Kazaa, leading to low quality mp3s. This exploit was specific to kazaa, so wouldn't affect other p2ps. I'll look further for a link.

Take a look here, been going on for a while.

The music industry is using some vulnerability in Kazaa to do with the hashing. They are not simply flooding the network. The 'good news' is that it is just Kazaa. Other p2ps are not affected by this. This may be the end of Kazaa as loads of people may change to other p2ps

*ahem* you mean just as avril opens her mouth? lol

your still second lord nice try you big fat bimbo :p
