RENAME
ALL FILES TO ZIP UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED
Some servers take a while to connect,
even if you are on a fast connection, so just wait.
Once connected it will be very fast. Use Flashget/Gozilla
to let it automatically retry.
You'll
need Winzip
to extract the files (Do not rename the files unless
they have extension a non-zip extension) and Winamp
(or Windows
Media Player) to play these files. Use the Latest
version of Winamp.
Use
Go!Zilla
or Flashget to resume broken
downloads. Kicks Getright's arse!
If
you have trouble downloading then read the guide below.
404-Not
found errors=The link is broken, please post a message
on the forum.
403-Forbidden
errors=To overcome this problem, you MUST right click
and save target as on the link OR right click and copy
the URL to your clipboard. Then go to Gozilla
and select Paste File (second button on the toolbar).
503-Service
unavailable=Rare error but try again later
Server
too busy= Try again later
To
rename files: (win 95/98/NT)
A
very easy way to rename files is to use the ChangeType
program!! Very easy to rename filess... just simply
right click!! It will add this command to the menu!
Download NOW!!!! See the tools
section for more info!
Simply
select the file and rename the extension to zip from
whatever it was. If your filenames show no extensions
then go to View, Folder Optinos, then View again and
then UNCHECK "hide file extensions for know
types" then press ok. Now the file extensions
should be displayed and you can rename them to zip! Then
unzip! To make the file extensions disappear again
simply check the box for hiding file extensions!
Downloading
For
Internet Explorer 5.0 and 4.0
Right
click and save target as.
The
above method is the best method to download for stable
and fast connections. It cannot resume. Otherwise use Gozilla.
For
Gozilla
Right
click and copy the file. Then click the paste button
(second button) on the toolbar and it will download for
you. Otherwise enter it manually. If you have
integration enabled then it will automatically download
files for you that have zip and other extensions, but
not CLASS extensions, so you have to remove class from
the "ban list". Go to
Go>Options>Automation and remove "CLASS"
from the exception list.
If
you get errors, read above to overcome them. Remeber 99%
of files on this site are ZIPS, so you need to rename
to ZIP, then unzip in Winzip.
For
Netscape Users
I've
tried to make this site Netscape friendly, since i use
an independent editor (Dreamweaver),
but still the site looks really crap in Netscape, so go
and Download Internet Explorer 5.0 and stop using
Netscape and uninstall it from your system!
Resolution
Problems
This
site looks best at 1024x768 resolution. I've tried to
make it look good in 800x600 but it is quite difficult.
If you wish to change your resolution, follow these
simple instructions. Note that some video cards do not
support high resolutions, but most probably would.
1)
Right click on your desktop and select properties
2)
Click on the settings tab and use the slide bar to
select 1024x768 (slide bar to the right). The select OK.
You may need to restart your computer, but everything
looks better in 1024x768.

FAQ
1) What
is MP3?
Go
to MP3.com
Brief:
Format of near cd-quality music compressed up to 12
times so you can download it of the internet. MP3 is a
acronym for Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) -1 Layer
3.
2) What
is WMA and how do i play them?
WMA
(Windows Media Audio) is the new Audio Codec
(compression decompression) or format from Microsoft.
It is "better" than Mp3 because it uses less
file space with comparable quality. You can use the
Newest Version of Winamp
to play the files (with WMA codecs installed) or use the
new version of Windows Media Player from Microsoft!
A mp3 file recorded at 160kps and 44khz, converted to
WMA will take half the space, and be BETTER quality than
an mp3 at 128kps and 44khz. Rename the files to zip then
unzip as per usual. Here are some WMA Links.
Microsoft
http://wmaudio.cjb.net/
3) WMA
vs. Mp3?
Both
formats are excellent. It doesn't matter which you
choose, its up to you. As long as you can play the files
then it's OK. Make sure you have the latest version of
Winamp WITH WMA SUPPORT!!!!
4) How
do I make my own Mp3's?
Simple.
Download a Encoder, a Cd Ripper and there you go.
Download them from Mp3.com.
or from the tools section!
Get a
CD, Rip it into a wave file and then encode it!
5) How
do I make my own WMA's?
Simply
get a program called Windows Media Tools from www.microsoft.com.
or Musicmatch.
6) Why
do I zip files?
Well i
zip files because it lowers the file size by a little
bit and I can attach the Readme file you see as to
prevent people from taking links and allowing visitors
to find out about my site if a link is stolen! Remember
to use Gozilla
only as Getright MAY CORRUPT Files!
7) How
do I become a member and what do I get?
Membership
is free and you get some added benefits, thats about
it. All you have to do to be a member is click on the
members link on the top of the page and join the mailing
list to get updates on url changes!
8) How
do I covert one file format to another?
This
question has been bugging me for a long time until I
found out about Musicmatch's
convert utility! It is excellent to convert files,
even mp3s to another bit rate as well as Wmas! So Simply
get a program called Musicmatch.
Click on options>File>Convert>then select file
to convert! Winamp also lets you convert file formats
including WMA. If you want to convert WMA to any other
major format, use a program called Shuffler in the tools
section.
9) Why
do I keep getting script errors when I visit the site?
This
problem is beyond my control. It is because of
Geocities. They want to put their little pop up on the
top right hand side and since every mirror has a
geocities banner at the bottom frame, geocities can't
display their popup and hence the script error. If you
want to stop the script error notifications, go to
Internet Explorer properties>Advanced Tab> and
uncheck "Display notification of every script
error" It should be unchecked in IE5 by default.
10) All
your links are broken!!!
They
are not broken! Please read how to download above.
11) Can
you email me songs?
No, that
is not possible, because of file attachment limits.
Any
more queries, email
me.
