speaking of viruses in the gnutella net, make a very weird search like : super nuclear program tha doesn't exist Get only one search result: super nuclear program tha doesn't exist.exe 784 Kb or something Guess you shouldn't try downloading that. |

Weird MP3s The ID3 tag of an MP3 is what carries the song's name/artist data (if it's present). That tag also has several bits which can be valued either True or False. They include "CRCs", "Copyright", and "Original". (There's also an "Emphasis" field for EQ adjustment but anyway...) I can't believe your Adaptec software actually checks the Copyrighted bit!! BTW, there is a format that is carried in an MP3 file called a "module", mod file, or ProTracker module. These play in Winamp thanx to an Input Plug-In which supports them. But they are not real MP3s. The biggest noticeable difference is the inability to rewind/ff/seek to a time of such a file! Winamp will happily convert it to a WAV if you need |

I always thought it would be nice if mod files support MP3 compression (and maybe Vorbis in the future), but I never heard of an MP3 files carrying a mod file? That's weird... I guess it wont play in just any MP3 player then... I really like mod files myself, they are smaller because they are mostly playing patterns, Unreal Tournament uses Mod files in their game, there is even a tool that will convert their umx to it or xm (pretty nifty)... |

mod files are you guys talking about mod files from the amiga computers (.mod .s3m etc...) yep, these are really cool and small, but they don't have much in common with mp3s... They are more like an instrument (sample) database with the "music sheet" for 4 or more channel. You could actually write good music in that format without being much of a musician |

Maybe I've misidenttified the culprit... I had an Amiga 500!! It rocked! The more I read about mod files, the more they sound like enhanced MIDI... So in observing the phenomenon that some files from Napster days called Right_Kind_Of_Wrong_mod.mp3 that would only play from start to end with no seek or time display.... are not comparable to MOD files as we know them. (I'd still use Winamp to WAV 'em tho!) |
