Thanks abounch for fixing the problem and posting back to the issue so quick!
install mmjb 6.1 -- done
then goto the musicmatch file in your programs file -- done
open Plugins and delete wma.inp -- done
then copy the file on your desktop --? stuck what file do i copy to my desktop?
and paste it in the plugins folder --? music match plugin folder?
im sorry i know im slowww :( haha! pls can someone help?
the audio data formats are incompatible
http://www.tech-recipes.com/windows_tips868.html first because it sounds like you missed a step or two? Now with this most recent post of the patch file I am not sure you need to start with 6.0 but I do know I have done it this way and it does work. But I have not used the patch yet for I am waiting for the other question to be answered let us know if you still stuck
check that see if that was the case

yup i read it :D
"install mmjb 6.0
then goto the musicmatch file in your programs file
open Plugins and copy wma.inp then save it on your desktop
goto ad or remove programs and remove musicmatch jukebox"
then you install 6.1 open plugins and replace with the wma.inp from 6.0
now as to the new patch I've put it in the plugins folder with the other and it seems about realtime if not a hair (but not more) faster then the other And I tried with out and got the error stated above Audio not compatible or something of the nature
as to the person above Put the orginal wma.inp (from 6.0) back in the folder and it will work
i have already converted 340 songs so far Good luck =)
to the others? Thank you
There is no directions for this file. Could you let us know where to put the .mmz file and does it replace a existing file?
And how long did it take for those 340 songs? My 1st computer is very fast and it does it just a little faster than realtime but my other slower computer that doesnt use the patch just a clean install of 6.1 (with only tracks downloaded prior to april 25th ((newer ones don't work)) can get them done in 10s or less. Now I must be missing something. Why the two different speeds? I even loaded it on another fast comp and same thing, not much faster than realtime. ? any thoughts anyone?
Use the windows search feature. Search for *.wma. Select all and drag to a folder. Walla
Also does anyone know if you can get napster to let you download more than 2 at a time?
To be honest, I don't know where it goes. I just executed it, and it sped up the process.
I do appreciate your help... I think mainly the problem is that nobody has really dissected what the file does. You download it, run it, and it works.
OUT.
ok so i ran the file inside the plugin dir and now it gives me the error "this audio format is incapatable."
this stinks any ideas?
the file is in my plugin dir does it remain there? Thanks again for taking a moment to help.
so i blocked all tried again and worked perfect Thanks very much for telling me to run the file THANKS
Not sure what's up with the firewall (what program did you block by the way - MM6.1?). I've only converted one file yesterday as an educational test to see if it could be done and it worked. If I try again I will just unplug cable from router so there's no Internet connection.
who knows what it's putting or where it's putting it
anyways i wrote a new recipe should be on the home page in a few
when it's posted i'll post a link here
the new recipe takes about 10 seconds
the new recipe takes about 10 seconds</ul>
SMK...
I posted your recipe as an addendum to your old one.
Thanks for the wonderful information!

thanx davak
yup thats the updated workaround let me know what you think everyone
When you convert it seems that if you just block the default browser that it will give you an error message of some sort (drm,not compatible formats and so on) but when you totally block all traffic then it will work fine. It seems that when you do the above method (just blocking a default browser) that good ol microsof will somehow still connect and give you an error.
I was the one who originaly stated about the just blocking a default browser and this does work for a couple of things but i wouldn't leave it like that when attempting to educate yourself on these files. And also stated above , Make sure your running peergaurdian in the backround.
I have seen all kinds of AP2P trackers trying to connect realtime and A LOT OF TIMES and without it (peergaurdian) your firewall does not protect against these threats

did you get the pm's
if so sorry for the copy
if not could you please add the link in the last post to my recipe
thanx
i wonder if music match is making oldversions take mmjb off
p.s. i'm sure they'll shut musicmatch's hole down soon, but i'll enjoy it while i can. got some downloading to do!

Glad you guys are finding the site useful. Let me remind you guys, however, that information like this is only available because somebody like yourselves decided to post it as a recipe. Please continue the chain and submit a recipe!
I tested one song and selected wma to wma (since it doesnt give me any other option) and tried to play the output file and it wont play.
What am I doing wrong???
Thanks!
you need to change it with another program
acoustica, virtuosa, mp3 to whatever :lol:
several programs will do this
but not mmjb
seems musicmatch and or microsoft are shutting down the sites we post that carry
the old versions of mmjb
what i'm asking from everyone is please find sites that host
mmjb 6.1 and 7.0 or 7.1
make sure the link works and pm me with them
DO NOT POST THEM
i want to keep updating the recipe with a new link to mmjb
but only one at a time
so they(musicmatch, microsoft) don't shut them down all at once
also if you have the files you can upload them for free at
http://rapidshare.de/
use winrar to compress the file to the size allowed you might not have to
and name the file something else don't name it mmjb6.1
if you do this please post the link here to the file on rapidshare
and if you use a password with winrar don't forget to post it also
thanx
share the wealth just cause it's working for you
doesn't mean you can't help
when people stop trying to help
it stops people like me from posting educational workarounds
http://www.old-software.com/software-31.html
is still working
but still please pm me with links
thanx
when i go to file-->convert
and then select a file to convert
and then select source data type=wma
the only option to convert TO is wma.
did i miss something?

acoustica, virtuosa, mp3 to whatever :lol:

it may be just me but its the same for all three computers of mine after converting from wma to wma the acoustica program will not convert them anymore(it still says there is drm which is weird), but others still will :lol:
now, as im trying to convert, it just freezes, and all the files are stopped at 4.8 kb... :( -- the only file that is there is the first file in the list of files i tried to convert.
but it worked perfectly this morning
?
Same. The hole has been fixed.
I've done over 3000 songs since April 23...glad everyone else caught on

Maybe next time you know how to convert before anyone else you will share the wealth, then we wont have to catch on

did you download the file from the link
or did you do my method??????????
They all create 5KB files and just don't work
No this is not actually the case I have 3 computers and 2 are not connected and its the same problem on all three.
because it never used to try to connect to the internet before now.
I label all downloaded music with dates a few days at a time then turn off all internet and start changing then. Well two days in (up till now all is working fine) I connect to the net (with no programs running to check an email or two) and then shut off net again and then go to start again and it wont work.
first it tries to connect though your browser to your music lic on your machine
than after failing it will try connecting straight to napster to get it (and when it fails it keeps trying for ever)
so my thoughts are microsoft connects behind your back and changes what ever it was that allowed it do work.
I guess we'll keep looking.
Thanks in advance
What method are u using?
VERY frustrated like us all. I have bought enough hard disc music to send somebody to retirement. I am in love with this N#$st&r trial thing and did the Virtuoso trick a couple months ago.
Looking through, the consensus seems to be looking for free conversion techniques. Answer me this....is there a pay service that can strip the DRM or do the conversion of the N#$st&r files that I acquired during the trial period? At this point, I'll pay, fuck it. The alternative is to go back to Kazaa..(sigh)......
Anybody?
There's been comments from other people about how Tunebite handles the beginning and ending of files. Apparently there's either some overlap of tracks and incorrect truncation at the end of tracks.
A much better (albeit still analog) solution is Total Recorder (Professional Version). The Pro verse retains all the tagging from the original WMA or MP3 file in most players (comes with a special visualization plug-in for Windows Media Player that you must use to capture the tag info if using that player). Total Recorder records to a variety of formats including MP3, WMA, WAV, OGG and a few others I've never heard of.
It allows you to set a user defined amount of time from the previous file when recording several tracks in a row and automatically pend that snippet to the current file, which eliminates the problem Tunebites has with beginning of files. And it has a sound editor that allows you to cut any overlap off at the end of tracks. Which solves the end of file recognition problem some people report they had with Tunebite.
If you take 5 to 10 minutes to check out the options and skim the help files you will get good results everytime. But it is still a slow process and if you make sure the ends of tracks stop where they should after doing a batch of recording it will take you a half minute or so per track.
And it may not work with all sound cards (there's a trial so you can check it out) but neither does Tunebite.
Till the next digital solution comes along Total Recorder is the best alternative I've seen.
hopefully there is another way 8)
the RIAA is taking away our ownership of the music even if it is BOUGHT
the last time i checked i thought once I bought something, i paid all of the fees necessary to do whatever the hell I wanted with the material. give me a user code on all of my devices that gets burned into the firmware...whatever it takes. BUT when i purchase a song, I want to be able to put it on all of my media players. i do not like the idea of having to logon to the internet to regain permission to play a damn song.
it sucks... the musicians make the music, sell the music to the music industry, in return make a dime for every dollar earned by the industry
hell, the musicians ought to sell their own music online directly to the consumer and squeeze the fat-cats out of the deal entirely.
just a thought.....if i played a song 4x faster than normal and increased my sampling rate 4x, would i still lose audio quality?
any comments?

</ul>
You would not lost quality. However, most sound cards cannot sample above 48kHz, and good quality digital files are usually 44.1kHz or so. So unless you have a sound card that can sample at least 88kHz, you are SOL.
Good idea though.

I'm going to use the examples of Windows Media Player as the player and TotalRecorder as the capture program because that's what I have but this should work with other programs that have similar capabilities. Anyway as I see it the recipe would be:
1. Open WMP and Rack up all the songs you want to play as a playlist in WMP (drag them all to the playlist window from their folder).
2. Go to the WMP View menu, point to Enhancements, and then click Play Speed Settings, then in the Enhancements pane, move the Play Speed slider to right to 4.0
3. Open Total Recorder and go to "recording source and parameters" and set the recording rate to the type of file you want WMA, MP3 whatever and the kbps to what you normally would (say 128 or 192) and THEN make sure the khz is set to 4 times the usual rate you would have used (if normally 48, set to 192).
4. Set the recording speed in Total Recorder to a rate of 4 times normal speed.
5. Set the recording program to record
6. Play the playlist in WMP
Is this right? I know I left out some of the usual setup steps but I'm trying to focus on the specific steps necessary to increase the speed.
Thanks.
