Might be the specific track. Some people do it so that you can get a taster of the music before going out to buy it

DONT USE KAZAA !!! its absolute crap..

Slow downloads, viruses , incomplete files.. its a joke

I dont condone software piracy or theft but if you must do it use torrents or direct connect..

too many viruses are spread by people using kazaa

Question

Why bttt it?

My comment was not taking the pi$$. I myself have downloaded some tracks (mainly to see if an album is worth buying or not) and some do come with loops, white noise, etc. in them.

If you want to download the tunes, look for a more reliable source as stated earlier. What happens if you delete the dodgy tracks and re-download from the same source? If you get exactly the same problem then the problem lies at source, i.e. they have put it on purpose so that you can't burn it as an audio track and hence make you put your hand in your pocket to get it properly

No probs dude See if you can download it again, and if it is exactly the same with noises, it's probably been done on purpose
