Author	Topic
yem23 Posts: 8	Posted - Thu Jul 24, 2003 6:39 pm  yes, another stupid question from a new guy...I'm attempting to send an mp3 file from my kazaa to the edit view. The 'open a waveform' box comes up, and I highlight the file to be sent to cep2.Under file information, it seas 'unrecognized format.'This goes for any of the windows media files as well as the kazaa files.So what steps am I missing here? A little help from the wise would be greatly appriciated. Keep in mind, when responding you may need to speak in lamest terms. Not only am I new to this software, but i'm still learning to use this computer.

Instead, it looks like the mp3's you're talking about are corrupt in some way or another. Try a different mp3. Or, try playing the mp3 you have in another application, Other than that, I might suggest that you carefully examine the filenames of the files that won't open. Make sure there's only ONE period in them, and that it's right before the extention.

yem23 Posts: 8	Posted - Wed Jul 30, 2003 6:13 pm  OK, so I tried to use diffrent MP3's from the kazaa application, and I tried to use diffrent MP3's from the windows media player, and Im still getting the same message (unrecognized format). Do I need to change the format to a wave file or somthing? How do I play the MP3 in another application? Im not quite sure what you mean by that. And the extension would be thenameofthatsong.mp3 right? How do I know if an MP3 is corrupt? I havent found a .mp3.exe, but if I did, what does it mean, and why should I delete it? And what is with the negitive response from voodooradio?Thanks for you patientce...

I'm not sure what you mean by "tried to use different mp3's from the windows media player", but it doesn't matter. Just drag the mp3 to the WMP icon. If it still doesn't play, the file is corrupt. Delete it and try again. Extension ? Just make sure the last 4 characters of the filename are ".MP3". Quote: And what is with the negitive response from voodooradio? Well, since 99% of all music piracy takes place through Kazaa's "Media Desktop" Voodoo is probably concerned that that's what might be going on here. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, myself. I mean, 99% of the worlds cocaine is made in Colombia, but I don't generally distrust all Colombian's because of this. Maybe I'm a sucker. Anyway, see if Windows Media Player will play these mp3's. If it does, then we've traced your problem to Cool Edit, and then we can go from there.
MusicConductor Location: USA Posts: 1524	Posted - Thu Jul 31, 2003 9:39 am  Not only is Kazaa home to one of the world's largest concentrations of pirates, but there are plenty of other unscrupulous types as well. Yem23, the chances of at least some of your downloads being corrupted with viruses etc seem pretty good. Also, you may be seeing the evidence of a virus partially disabling media playback on your system. Hope you've got really good anti-virus protection and don't mind Sharman Networks spying inside your computer. Please let us know about the anti-virus question, yem. And please understand that many of us hate Kazaa because we believe we should get paid for the work we do. It's nothing personal, just a matter of principle.
-Mac- Location: United Kingdom Posts: 4	Posted - Thu Jul 31, 2003 12:01 pm  Just a quick question - are you dragging your files from the Kazaa Media Browser window, or from a standard Explorer window (which you can get from start menu). I have had trouble dragging files from another program (not specifically KaZaA), so this might be it..

Exactly as MC mentions... The whole principle of "file sharing" promotes theft. Like any other Professional, Musicians should be paid for their creativity and services. Again, as MC alludes to... "it's a matter of principle. File sharing sites are chocked full of virus's and for the price of a "free" song (in a poor lossy compression format) you can subject your computer to complete failure, losing any and all information/data that you have worked hard to accomplish. It's just not worth the chance! And... it's nothing personal! _________________ I said Good Day! Voodoo

Ive attempted to drag files from my "shared folder" to the cool edit folder box, but as soon as I get outside the kazaa shared folder box I get a circle with a slash that wont allow me to drop it into cep2. Im able to drag mp3s from my shared folder to other applications, but not cep2. Standard explorer window? I dont understand what that is.
Caleb Posts: 93	Posted - Wed Aug 06, 2003 10:04 am  Wow! Maybe someone finally found a way to KaaZa-proof CEP!:D Seriously though, if drag and drop isn't working, try(in edit view) File>Open> Whatever you are trying to open. What happens if you just open your shared folder in an explorer window..? personally, I have CEP set up as my default player, so all I have to do is click on a media file and it opens CEP with the file loaded. Please tell me you didn't get CEP from Kazaa too. _________________ Caleb

In the kazaa shared folder box, right-click on your target file name. Do you then get a choice to "copy" the file? If you do, try to copy and paste to Cool Edit. Let us know what happens.
