Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

I'd be happy for somebody to correct me, but I'd say no. They are different. mwa files are intended for Windows Media Player to play. Sure, some other mp3/media players 'might' be able to play them but will most likely require special codecs to enable this. Sorry I'm not a pc person (I'm a mac user), but it's my understanding wmp does have the ability to burn cd's. If yours has this ability, then it should be safe to dwnld wma files to burn to a cd. Your burner software might/might not have the ability to convert wma files so they can be burnt to cd. For mp3's, there's various softwares incl. burner apps that can burn them as a cd. You could potentially mix them both onto one cd. But 1st you need to find out if your wmp can burn them 1st! Also keep in mind there's different types of mp3's & wmp may potentially require xtra codecs to play all types.

mp3 has similar compression rates to wma but lacks any sort of annoying security. WMP is big on needing xtra codecs to play AV. See the following links for comparisons (too big to include here): http://www.insearchoftruth.org/audio...ke/encode.html
http://www.updated.com/browse/index....en+MP3+And+Wma

No, mp3's can be burnt as either an mp3 disk (basically a data disk) or burnt as a full audio cd. Generally the burner software will convert the mp3 to the full size of audio tunes (wav & aiff are direct formats that save in full audio quality.) Just choose audio cd in the burner app & drop your mp3's in there.

mp3's & wma are generally compressed in size using 'lossy' techniques (throws away info thru a no. of methods; eg: combining the 2 L&R channels at times when the difference is minimal.) Hope this answers your queries.

The difference is better seen in wmv (short for Windows Media Video): one can find he same clip on .avi format for 25000KB while in .wmv it takes around 7500KB. How is that? A lot (and I mean a lot) of quality is sacrificed for the sake of a smaller file. And that's probably Microsoft's motto on everything: Quantity over Quality. It's better to produce 100 programs with a million free incorporated bugs (no need to dld them but you can do so to keep software bugs up-to-date) than 10 programs that will work coherently. Bugs are goood for them. They love them. I wonder if B. Gates' fancy house has any bugs.
I have a question though:
wma=Windows Media Audio
mwa=Mindows Wedia Audio?

Who's Mindows? And what's a Wedia?

So he types badly considering the citiation to -Blue Öyster Cult- why would sound quality even matter - cacophony doesn't require quality just volume

Maybe they're not everybody's cup of tea, but that's a tough description, very generalised & a personal view. Perhaps some people can't distinguish quality b/w tunes, but everybody has their own taste. I'm glad we're not all sheep following what the music industry says we should. And besides, such types of bands have been just as popular/successful as those that get sponsored by the music industry. They sometimes have cult status. Curious to hear murasame's opinion! lol

I don't get it. You think that BÖC is cacophony?
