I was 12.
I learned how to get stuff on usenet.

do people really actually listen to these terribly ripped mp3's on their computers????

Obviously they don't.

It's true, if you think about it.

Hope your friend has an offshore IP. RIAA will be sending a letter soon otherwise.

Some are just morons in general and some just don't really know that much about computers and whatnot and just use it to download MP3s or videos.

My friend just converted all his CD's (about 200-300) to MP3 and did it at 64 sampling :( He said he can't tell the difference (he has crappy non powered speakers too) and he can save soooo much space. Also whatever he did cut off the last 5 seconds or so of every song, anyone know what that could be?

Thank god they tell you the sampling rate before you download. He has about almost 5000 songs to share now and they are all crap.

Jesus. How do you get through 200 then realize you clipped the last five seconds.

My guess at what it could be is his stupidity.

he is retarded ... no matter what he does he goes overboard on and in the totally wrong way.

His latest was about 6-7 wireless devices on his desk and called me late to find out why only a couple work at the same time.

As far as it cutting off the last 5 seconds of every song, I have no idea...he doesn't even know the program he used, but there was no option that I could select here on the programs I have that would cut off a song....wierd.
