Casch 0 #1 November 23, 2003 I have been downloading music since it was possible, with Napster, Grokser, Kazaa, Kazaa Lite (by far the best client I've used), but now, I wanna buy CD's. I still occasionally download a song or two, to decide if I like the band, and whether or not to buy the cd. Part of the reason I don't want to download music anymore is because of the difficulty in finding QUALITY downloads. People don't know what they're doing when they rip music so it sounds like crap. That and I think the RIAA is somehow spiking peoples files so that about 15 seconds into the song, all you hear is: KL:JHSFHBL:KJBJSDUIOHDNBDFNDLKFHLKDFKHFKLNDF I can't really explain the sound...but its the most horrid sound ever. Its so worth it to me, to go out and buy the cds, support the musicians and then rip the cds, keep the mp3's stored on my computer to use with my MD player in my car.

dixieskydiver 0 #2 November 23, 2003 Itunes is good, you can stream over networks for free. There is also something out called MyTunes that some third party guy wrote that captures streaming mp3's and saves them to you hard drive. Song's are only 99 cents to buy, albums somewhere around $13 usually. I got the Best of REM cd for like 13 and it had 18 songs on it. Not bad.

I know the sound very well... I also buy cds lots, but if its just the occasional song that I like, I dont buy them. That sound though... I just assumed it was some shitty ripping program that people were using, but its scary. Especially if yo have the volume turned way, way up, and it comes on...

Casch 0 #4 November 23, 2003 You have no idea how happy it makes me, to know that someone else has suffered through that hellish sound...it like in dumb and dumber when he says "Hey, you wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?" except 10000000E 9999 times worse...I may have just shed a tear...god what a terrible sound... Does anyone know what exactly would cause that? I've noticed its mostly on the really popular songs, and usually from the servers with fast downloads. If you download from a person that would take 3 hours, it is usually fine, but who the hell is gonna wait 3 hours for a song... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
