It was Vikram Punathambekar[^]. He always asked what everyone was doing on Friday. It was a mild little thing, just to have people tell what they were planning for the weekend.
Some dickhead decided this was boring, and a bunch of other dickheads vilified Vikram (alliteration intended) until he gave it up.
If you continue this, you'll be marked for vilification as well.

I'm having a problem with some music files. Which forum would you recommend I ask this?
The issue is that some mp3 files sound great using Audacity but awful using my MPC or mp3 player. By awful I mean like playing too loud on cheap speakers. There is an additional broken noise, like noisy echo.
Thank you, good people.

Obviously not this one  
I'd have a go at Q&A.

The first thing to do would be to try to see what is different about one that plays well in both environments and one that doesn't. Explorer's file 'properties' might give you some clues. Is one constant bit rate versus a variable bit rate encoding for the other?

Thank you for your reply.
Problem solved. Chasing your idea I stumbled on the solution.
The settings on both MPC and my mp3 player had gotten corrupted... in the same way. What are the chances of that.
Thanks again.

Evidently 100%!  Some days are like that...
Glad you got it sorted.

Use Audacity!

One day humanity will finally be able to reach for the stars. We can then visit and subsequently subjugate all beauty and wonder and bend it to our will turning once mighty galaxies into nothing more than a wasteland of humanity's awesomeness.

The really, really sad thing is that you're probably right.

There is growing consensus amongst space drive engineers and theoreticians that AGW (anthropomorphic galactic warping) is causing dead zones in sub-space thus preventing faster than light travel in those areas.

I'm thinking it has already happened, the light just hasn't reached us yet.

That might explain how the country got its name, due to the incessant wails of the sheep. It all makes sense now!
