Tip for KaZaA users: search higher bitrates...


Jeffrey mailed me with a tip for KaZaA users.

Normally u can only search for audio files with up to 128 kbps bitrate. But if u change a little options in the registry u can search for files with a higher bitrate (up to 320 kbps, cd quality). I've tested it myself and it works.

How to change this:

- Start -> Run -> Regedit

- Search (F3) for 'LimitBitrate'

- Change the value to '0' (zero)

U also wonder why KaZaA doesn't do this standard? Well I checked their FAQ and I saw this:

We are currently discussing with European collecting-rights organisations with the objective to make an agreement in which KaZaA members will be able to pay a flat monthly fee for a "Music subscription" and be able to share and download music from commercial artists legitimately and at full CD quality. Until that is in place you can only find MP3 files that are of maximum 128 kbps, which is slightly under CD quality. We ask for your understanding on this issue.

Sounds useless to me. Like the music industry will stop the case against napster if from now on they only search upto 128 kbps files...
