Guest Downhome Report post Posted March 8, 2003 I was trying to check out a few songs just now, and I ran into a small problem I guess you could say. I downloaded the song once, sounded fine, then out of nowhere in the middle it made a beeping "swoosh" type noise. I it again from someone else, and it had the same thing. I tried to download a few more different songs, and MANY of them had this. Now, after talking to a few people about it, I was told that this is the method that the music industry is using to sway people from just downloading songs now. They distribute this "fake" file or whatnot, it spreads, and people get so pissed with downloading songs and just getting this shit, that they just go out and buy the music finally. Is that true, or just some lie? If that isn't the case, then what in the hell is up with Kazaa? I haven't really had this problem on any of the other downloading programs, at least not yet. Have any of you ran into this problem yet? Sincerely, ...Downhome... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest HollywoodSpikeJenkins Report post Posted March 8, 2003 Does it sound like a whatchamacallit on a phone? Because I get that a lot on new songs (mainly the fucking DareDevil soundtrack.) It's really fucking annoying, but if you wait a few days, a real version will come up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's really fucking annoying, but if you wait a few days, a real version will come up. Ummm, I don't know how to explain what it sounds like. I've got a few different versions of "the sound". So do you think it's something that the music industry is actually doing to piss people off enough to go buy music? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted March 8, 2003 Whats the rating on the file? If its got a high rating, give it a low one, and note its low quality as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest SP-1 Report post Posted March 8, 2003 I was under the impression that it was simply because they are demo copies of the songs that went out before the soundtrack was released so radio stations could check the songs out and whatknot. Though the sound is probably to deterr them from uploading it online. That's my guess anyway. There are probably full, good versions out there, it'll just be a search. And yes. The DareDevil soundtrack is a bitch. I finally gave up. Luckily, I want to buy Evanesence anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest RenegadeX28 Report post Posted March 8, 2003 Yep, I had that problem DLing Evanescence. It has that weird woosh sound.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest redbaron51 Report post Posted March 8, 2003 Another advantage to liking older music: the record industry doesn't care because it doesn't sell. I found a few Pink Floyd and The Doors songs edited out with that sound... hell The End had that annoying sound plus cut out when Morrison was talking about killing his parents...

Guest phoenixrising Report post Posted March 9, 2003 Had the same problem with the Evanescence song too. Downloaded two copies with the swoosh sound, third time's a charm. When I tried to download Seether's "Fine Again" I got the same thing. Just keep trying different versions until you get one that doesn't have a swoosh.
