Clicks and skips in downloaded music files
 

Just new to LW...everything works great, but when I launch the song file, it often has clicks and skips in it.

Is this my computer's fault, the connection, or something else?

What player are you using? LimeWire's built in player isn't very good. You should get a stand alone player and see if you still have problems.

If you are on Windows, WinAmp from www.winamp.com is an excellent (and free) player.

It is very possible that the tracks themselves are the problem. People share some c**p. But try another player first.

Is that something to do with the RIAA trying to confuse the whole networks...

It often happens with recent songs (although I was able to get the same problem on old files as well..)

For exemple, the file size is 6 mb... but when you play it, it shows that it is at 32bps instead of 192... and it is stretch over 23 minutes (instead of 4...)


I was wondering if it was because of a bad clone of limewire corrupting the header of the mp3 files... modifying the playback speed of the song...
