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. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

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. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

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. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

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. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. 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. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. 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.

its really not worth it....there will be a rather severe loss of quality to do such a thing....just look for the files in the format you desire (I suggest staying away from wma and wmv files)

Only convert lossless formats like FLAC, ALAC, APE, wavpack, lossless WMA etc. Anything that has already been transcoded (mp3, mp4, wma etc.) will end up sounding bad.

Default converting files

not sure if this is pertinent to the thread, but sometimes I have an MP3 file that just won't play on Windows Media player, but will on another player, like say ...Irfanview. So it must be a codec issue of some kind. But ...when that happens, I just use a free converter program called "Super" which converts almost anything ...into anything. I just reencode the MP3 as an MP3 and it works...not sure why, but it fixes whatever issue I had on that file.

The problem with doing that is the Super will first decode the file (guessing mp3pro) into .wav format and re-transcode the file into mp3 again. It wil like in above mentioned scenarios have severe loss in quality.

You should be able to get the required codec to play the original file somewhere online. just try googleing something like WMP+mp3pro+codec

Default re:quality issue

Thanks Sleepless...

I read about the loss of quality in transcoding, and I'm sure you are right...from an audiophiles perspective. Guess I just couldn't notice an audible difference on the media players I use. I tried a few times to search for solutions to this quirk, but had no luck. Its funny how "Irfanview" ...a graphics program with a player app....will play almost every type of file I encounter, but for some reason I like the GUI of the Windows player ....legacy issues in my old school mentality. Thanks for clarifying the original point on quality though.

'If' you retranscode the file, please do not share it back to the network. That depletes the quality of shared files around the network. I'm sure there are a % of files floating around on the network that have been transcoded from one lossy format to another like mp3 to mp3 or mp4 to mp3, etc.

Since most people are above using dial up connections nowadays, AIFF/WAV/FLAC/APE/Apple Lossless, etc are the best for everyone to share if they are able to and if they have the originals (not converted from mp3, etc.) After all, AIFF/WAV are 'identical' to CD with no loss of quality at all. That's why they are referred to as Lossless file formats.

Dare I say it but I feel the same about video. For some reason people still convert videos to mpeg 1 or mpeg 2 or equivalent formats or image dimensions (VCD/SVCD pixel dimensions). Mpeg 4 & H.264 are the way to go for video (though DivX is also very good, H.264 is even better.) Ideally retaining the 'original' video pixel dimensions if they would (eg: 640 x 480 pixels or large screen/HDD).
