I think that is a bit harsh, anyway this was really more of a case of sending your complaint straight to swamper, using the feedback system

sorry, i didn't mean to be rude. it's just that i find it dissapointing to discover clicks and skips at the end of a great song (as all on this site are), and i've just spent two hours downloading it on my poor 56k modem... it's not fun. kudos to the entire TA team for keeping the site up, but i really think it would help a lot if someone could prelisten the songs before posting them and say "the sound quality is blah-blah-blah, there is a slight sync error at 6:17, there is a click at the beginning" ... naah, i overdid it yet again. sorry.

Swamp, i think he wants u to make him stop dling...

Sub, uve gotta get 1 thing straight: those ppl put those songs up WITHOUT being asked for, they ask NOTHING in return, ofcourse u can point out bad quality, but not like this!!!

if it was up to me, id imprison u

that would be nice, yes - i download every single from the site, which has a very negative effect on my phone bill

how, then? i admit my reaction was a bit inappropriate (suits me right, never write e-mails or post to forums and newsgroups when you're angry) ...

i've got soap on a rope, i think i'm safe even in that scenario


btw, does TA accept only new songs and vinyl rips? i've got some good ol' goa trance which i wouldn't mind sharing - then again, i've never seen a goa song on TA, so i don't know if people would like it

When you find clicks and strange sounds in a song (which I haven`t had in a long time and especially not here) there is a method of "repairing" them.

Search for a programm called "uncook", run the mp3 through this programm and the mp3s will be repaired. Search on the net for it, works like a charme. I have an old version of it (uncook 95), so I don`t know if it runs under Win2000 or XP but if you don`t find it on the net I could send it to you.

Just pm.

Cheers

unfortunately, uncook only has an effect on mp3's that were affected by the nasty CRLF bug in an old version of ... what was it? netscape 4.x? it's basically useless nowadays.

thanks for your help, though, every advice is appreciated

honestly, does anyone actually listen to the songs before putting them online? i'm very, very dissapointed.

It was that line that got to me - I spend a ZILLION hours listening to music weeding out the crap - that comment assumed I posted stuff without ever having listened to it first...

Nothing that's ever been posted was only heard by me ONCE, but rather, MULTIPLE times.

And yea, it's just me, there's no team - sure there are some key individuals who send me some songs (and their tastes are similar to mine) and others who provide server space for you to all download from - but other than that - it's my ears that bleed while I listen to some stuff you don't even want to imagine.

Just so ya know....

Why soo harsh...when you come to a site like this u cant complain about quality! the songs are great and a lot of work has been put into getting those songs on the internet. This is all done because swamper is really didecated and carez for his visitors and members. He doesnt charge anything, only has like 1 banner...
Give him a break...shit happens...
peace... take carez
