Why does some mp3's make loud noises during the song.

Because they were encoded poorly.

Buy the cd and encode them properly.

Or use what you're using to access rec.audio.car and go over to
alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.

Back in 1997, when Napster was a baby, there was a program that could
fix it, but I forgot what it is called.

I have never had any problems with any of my several thousand mp3's
downloaded from newsgroups.

Loud noises like milliseconds of pure static or pops are caused by someone
with a computer that had a noisy CD-ROM, slow hardware (CPU's buffer
overrun) or poorly-written MP3-encoding software (early versions years ago
or freewares)...I've heard such byproducts from all three scenarios...but
such noises absolutely are not inherent of MP3s in of themselves...that's
sort of an ignorant remark.

MP3 is a lossy compression - it will *lose* data of the original PCM Wave
source, but there is no reason to believe it will *add* this sort of
extraneous data.

I am talking about a lot of random tones that occur 80% of the song

This is common when you download from kazaa. People don't know how to
rip/encode their cds.

Haha, that's pretty darn pathetic! People just must not check their work!
80% of the song is pretty extreme - I was referring to a "click" or "pop"
that may occur 10-20 times/song tops but if there is errors spanning 80% of
the song the the ripper's a moron!

if it's the correct freq. it will.

Unfortunately many ISPs don't offer alt.binaries access.

I know exactly the sound your are talking about. It is present in alot
of new songs that have been recently released. These sounds are not
caused by accident, or by hardware error. They are manually encoded
into the file using software to frustrate people from downloading.
There was an article on cnet about it a while ago. The recording
industry of america intentionally puts out bogus files that are either
songs that play only around 10 seconds and looped, or songs that have
the extreemly annoying, harsh noise in it as a deturrent for people
downloading music. They succeed in making it frustrating, but you just
need to search a little deeper and you'll find the complete, real song.

this is what I'm talking about, I just don't look for anyone with a great
connection or all lowercase letters for name/artist.

I thought the noise (yes i know the one you mean) was due to the
copyright protection on some of the newer cds... not entirely sure how
it works, except that when you transfer the mp3 it wont play right...

like i said not sure on the technicalities but that always what i
thought it was??!

if the CD has copyright protection it won't play at all, there are very few
CDs with the CP, because it either doesn't work in all players or it gets
hacked.
