question on mp3's... - GoFuckYourself.com

IntenseCash · 11-14-2003, 12:30 PM

how come when I download mp3's and playback on my pc they sound great but sometimes on certain songs I burn on a cd to play in the mp3 player in my truck, some of the songs clip out constantly or just a few times on a song.

Damn drives me nuts!

Yeah, i get that alot at the end of some songs, the ends missing.

Hmmm...

I believe it is a bad rip. It used to happen to me, but then I noticed that if you play certain songs in winamp, the bitrate fluctuates.

you have to make sure that the song has a consistent bitrate.
Those should play better in your car.

so is this just the drawback of mp3's? does it have anything to do with the speed of burning the songs? the source I downloaded it from??

I noticed that those bad downloads are coming from particular swappers and each of them have the same bandwidth rate of about 832. I stay away from them and I get good songs each and everytime.

I've noticed lately that a lot of MP3s I download have this AWFUL sound after a few seconds or at the end. I thought it was some new anti-pirating device on CDs that they are being ripped from. It really sucks because it's a HORRIBLE sound. I download MP3s but I also buy a ton of CDs... so I don't feel guilty about it at all. I just like the MP3 convenience for my PCs.

I noticed that awful sound at the beginning of songs as well. I am not sure if it is some kind of anti-pirating feature.

So whats the best bitrate to download at?
