What are lossless files ? As for the red lettering, I managed to solve that simply by going to Limewire Library, clicking onto song and selecting 'start sharing file'. Thanks for your help. Oh and I ripped the music again and now I have both WMA and Mp3 versions of my songs. Would I be correct in saying there should'nt be a problem for anyone with that ?

I'm not Peerless, but I can answer that for ya

Lossless simply means that the file doesn't lose quality

E.g. you rip a CD to .wav and then burn the .wav to CD again then you get an exact copy of the first CD (This off course depends a bit on the quality of ripping and burning equipment)

If you make rip a CD and convert it to .mp3 or .wma format, and then burn a cd from that format, then you lose a bit of quality.

BTW you still haven't mentioned what kind of music it is.

There should not be a problem with having both mp3 and wma files, then you give people a choice. I'm guessing that you will soon find that the mp3 ones are more popular.

Also rip them at high bitrate (320 kbps)

If you want to share perfect quality then share the .wav files or convert the .wav files to FLAC (level 8) (takes up less space but is just a good)

BTW FLAC is free and open source. (FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec)

Sorry, but the above message was meant for you rather than 'Peerless' but what's the difference eh ? Who or what is BTW ? As for the music, well, all the music has been 'created' using 'music maker' type discs (or games) for use with games consoles. Does that make the music rubbish ? Not necessarily so I think. It still takes imagination to gleam a lot from limited resources. The music is a bit Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Jean Michel Jarre, William Orbit, Black Sabbath and a lot more depending on the song, even some reggae and Acid Jazz. Laughable ? Who gives a ....

BTW = By the way, as in note: or I almost forgot

And actually many give a ....

If the samples have noticable traces of copyright material on them then Sectionz is not an option for uploading to. But you can probably get good advice there on how to keep quality as intact as possible.

Many people are very quality concious and will not keep tracks they download, which they do not feel are high quality.

You asked we answered.

Could you PM me your IP+portnumber for direct connect and some filenames, then I could check them out and maybe help you share them.
