I take it DMusic doesn't like .wma??

wailingmiserere	Date: May 30, 2004 @ 3:15 PM Tried uploading a .wma file, but it didn't work... got a message saying 'Upload completed' and above that, 'Unable to determine the file's bitrate.' Which is strange, because it's the standard 128kbps. Not a huge problem, I'm just impatient because I want to put me new song up! And I can't get to a decent computer that will convert to .mp3 for me until tomorrow or possibly the day after. Ah well.
robbydadrummer	Date: May 30, 2004 @ 7:10 PM only mp3 files work here as far as i know. you can get a quality free ripper/converter for that computer here: http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm

robbydadrummer	Date: May 31, 2004 @ 12:52 AM ogg support in the future? hell yeah! either that or mpc would make me happy. looks like acc is becoming the popular one though because of iTunes and other sites... even winamp's default ripping format is acc now.
wailingmiserere	Date: May 31, 2004 @ 2:50 PM Thanks for the help Robby but because I don't have a computer of me own, I have to use stupid university computers which won't let you download anything onto em. Ah well... just have to be patient until I can get to me mates computer. ;square:
wailingmiserere	Date: May 31, 2004 @ 2:51 PM Awww When will DMusic have an edit post thingy in the forums?!?
wailingmiserere	Date: May 31, 2004 @ 2:53 PM Oooh... sorry to post AGAIN but I just read the thing in the help section... Subscribing user can post tracks as big as 32MB?!? Whhaaat?? How fecking long would an mp3 song have to be in order to be 32MB?? Bejaysus!!
milladrive	Date: May 31, 2004 @ 3:05 PM lmao ...Actually, at 320kbps, a standard mp3 of 32 megs would be about 17 minutes.
robbydadrummer	Date: June 5, 2004 @ 4:44 AM yeah... there is no restriction on the bitrate of your mp3's here.
torndownunit	Date: June 5, 2004 @ 4:52 AM .wma and windows media in general are also crap.
robbydadrummer	Date: June 5, 2004 @ 4:56 AM hey wailing, if you have ugh realplayer on there already, you can rip to 96k mp3. won't be the best quality, but you could at least get your songs up. most computers already have real because for some reason sites still use that media format. something you can check out at least.
robbydadrummer	Date: June 5, 2004 @ 4:07 PM and i agree with wailing... we need an editor here!!!!
Neka12	Date: August 31, 2004 @ 9:24 AM well, does anyone know y real player before it palys the song it has to buffer, i dont know what the hell that is, but i find that it buffers to 100% then plays a piece of the track, then buffers again to play a little more, y the hell does that happen?
undefined22	Date: September 3, 2004 @ 7:06 AM torndownunit-- Oh, no they're not. It's been shown a number of times that a 128kpbs WMA is superior in quality to a 128kpbs MP3.
leflaw	Date: September 3, 2004 @ 7:24 AM Supoerior quality, but sounds worse. Typical microsoft
spiralmux	Date: September 3, 2004 @ 12:19 PM @ leflaw Neka, as for buffering, any time you stream audio or video, there's buffering involved. All this means is that it downloads a bit ahead of where it plays, in case there's network congestion or something like that. This does happen with mp3s, though most mp3 players let you configure how much buffering they do -- and Real is notorious for having buffering problems. The overarching theme here, the reason Real does that to you, is because it sucks.
