i dont download music anymore, but my little cousin came over and wanted to make a CD so i told her to use my Kazaa. well, to make a long story short, she got duds.

Madonna songs -----> keeps on repeating or long spaces of silence
Celine Dione -----> just silence

don't know about you guys but I think that Kazaa is no mans land.....

 
i have been getting stuff off kazaa for a long time and have only found 1 dud

you just have to know how to spot the signs.

like if 10 people have a file, and 9 have it called "whatever.mp3" but one has it called "whatever (DUD VERSION).mp3" it'll be a dud

hope it's ok to talk about that here, if not mods please carry me away in a big pot
 
IF I was a record company, I'd employ people to get on Kazaa and proliferate Duds.. not just one or two....but about 100-500. If they can afford to dump 80mil on Mariah's sorry act, they can afford a few mil to proliferate crap on the P2p channels

I think mp3's are advertisement for CD's. Thats the way it works for me.. if I like the mp3, I buy the CD so I can have the high quality version.

I don't know why the record companies would care. They think record sales are down because of pirating but the truth is nobody wants to pay for the puff/britney/50cent/avril crap they force feed the public these days. It's definitely a lack of talent driving the sales down.

I couldn't agree more on the extent of poor talent nowadays that is turning people off of purchasing CD's, but I do not believe MP3's are used as most just as an advertisement. I'll be honest, I have alot of music I have not paid for. I get it, I listen to it, and if I like it I purchase it...the problem is I dislike most of it. Recently I heard the new Evanescence track and I went out the next day and purchased their CD. If people like a CD, they will purchase it. But what record companies need to realize is we dont want 2 good songs and 15 fillers...we want a cd full of good music. Call that greedy, but that is what the majority of paying customers would like. You can't get away with selling a boston cream donut that has 2/17th of the donut filled with cream, why do they think they can get away selling us part of a cd.
 
hey, i buy my cds but i cannot subject myself to buying a whole CD of crap to get one song....................and since they don't sell singles anymore...............

I bought a donut like that once. man was I PISSED

 
I download an mp3 and 99 times out of a hundred, I'll be in a record store asking for any disc that has that song, either they have the disc or I buy the damn disc that LOOKS like it has my song and it turns out to be 9 tracks crap and the track I want is a remix that sux ballz.

Plus, if you browse singles sections of cd stores, the singles sometimes cost more than the cd the song is on!

pisses me off sometimes.
