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.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

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.

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.

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.

10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. 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.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

13. 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.

quite possibly fake files .. best to go for ones showing bitrate and artist album title. The awkward number sounds like something to avoid. vheck you get files aver 3 or 4 MB .. some smaller files under 1MB will not be right either

I hope this helps

These do sound like corupt/faulty/fake files, especially since you say they are reading 20 mins for a file, as this time length would indicate a file of 20 MB or more. ...althought sound might be the wrong word to use lol

What media player are you using? are these mp3 files? ..if not what type are they ..... also I suggest downloading some random files which look ok and see what happens with them. You can always delete them if not to your taste. If you want to give more details of the files .. which should not be given on the forums ..please feel free pm me. (button below)

I had a similar problem with a popular artist some weeks ago, it had a "tiny symbol" before the artist/file name which I couldn't read. After my standard virus check, tried the file in 3 different players & all showed way too long a play length for the file size,,,about 4x what I'd expected, so just deleted it in frustration. Very strange! but I've noticed the same symbol again recently & left the tune alone.

Thanks for your answers guys, and yes the files R mp3 files, popular song's like Luxurious of Gwen Stefani, etc, and all the results that I get from this file are this kind of "mute songs" LOL, BTW I'm using Windows Media Player, Winamp, Nero Showtime and Intervideo WinDVD to play them with the same result.

Regards!!

I'm not one for modern popular stuff but have tried to get it on occasions. I end up with loads of purposely messed up files and find that getting them off a modem user is often a good idea .. In general they seem to care about what they share and you'll get lucky in the end hopefully.

The record companies plant some of these files I think and they should really find something useful to do with their little lives.

Good luck
