how come only some songs are effected by this crappy noise or random silences in MP3's, it's really stupid cos people that d/load music aren't gonna be encouraged to buy music they can't d/load, it'll put them off the band entirley. It's just silly anyway record companies aren't loosing that much music still costs far too much.

.... they do it because they want you to buy the CD

But like I said before it makes most people get pissed off and just don't bother to d/load the music or buy the CD. It's just gonna piss people off, any way I'm a musician recording an album but I'll put all my shit in my shared folder as soon as it's done

It really doesn't .

People just keep downloading untill they get the right one, or eventually buy it.

Yeah it's just pointless. I hope they don't do it with videos too cos I'll be pissed if I miss out on free porn

They dont care about videos, its the music thats the lucrative business thats been made slightly less lucrative. Greedy bastards.

Fuck them Im with sttikjt on this one, I just find another freaking song untill I get the righth one

Doesn't stop anyone from downloading all there doing is training us to be more persistant and keep downloading different versions of the same song.

or just get it off something else, haha

I uninstalled Kazaa and stopped downloading because I'm scared they'll catch me hehehe. I have 56k anyway ;P

and to think, all ive been using is dc++ lately

The hell is dc++?
Rule of thumb when using kazaa, make sure the bogus music filters and crap are turned on.. I have YET to download a bogus song file.

it filters out some perfectly good mp3's though. I say screw the filters.

BT is where it's at, a lil slow sometimes though

BT is good, cept i only got 15kbps up so its too slow. i still use kazaa on the rare occassion i download a song. irc for albums. and videos and games. DC++ for anything i can't get off irc.

Since Im on broadband, when I download songs, I do get them from kazaa but I always download at least 3 versions...doesnt always guarantee a good version tho.

For most of my films, games, porn etc. I use Overnet.

As for BT, I dont really seem to get the speeds on it, but I havent really used it that much yet.

Anyone know any sites for good BT link btw?

Well Kazaa is ok I guess it's just bastards who sold out to record comanies or actually are companies. I think there should be some way of blocking unreliable sources.....doubt it would happen though

Wow that whole "sold out" thing is the dumbest thing ever. First off, most of the bands who "sold out" have sounded like they do the whole time, they just got popular suddenly. Secondly, who really cares? It's wether or not you like the music, not if they've changed what they sound like. Don't worry about such dumb things .

Amen to that!

I think he was talking about the file sharers not the bands... :huh:

Either way, I still find the whole bands "selling out" thing dumb.

(I was wondering why his post didn't make sense.. haha)

LOL I don't really say bands sell out, they just change their style to something I don't like / completely different to their original style....it just sucks when they do.....

So they sell out... Damn youre one man difficult to defend!

That's what you get for not siding with me

I wouldn't really say it's selling out, some bands change style...Metallica's St Anger for instance yet the band still have the old style, I saw them live in Leeds and they played most of the old stuff. It's just pisses me off when I buy a new album and it's a completely differen't style to the old one
