Messed up MP3
15 years ago
So, I had my MP3 of Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion" glitch. Now it plays at 1/4th speed and is full of horrible demonic growlings, odd mechanical bangings and grindings, and some weird stomping noise. It sounds like the background ambiance in some gothic horror survival game boss fight scene.
[EDIT]
So I was informed it was playing correctly on some media players. So I ran it through an audio editing program, bumped up the volume and re-encoded it so that, in theory, it plays wrong for everyone. Or right for everyone. Whatever. Re-encoding it also dramatically reduced the file size. Because of time dilation, the 196 Kbps over 4 minutes original sample was 32 Kbps over 17 minutes. I re-encoded it at 32 kbps and it massively dropped the file size.

On my end, it just plays as a really brief 2-second clip that pretty much just sounds like garbled noise.
Definitely something going on with the encoding there. :)
Funny how 25% speed sounds much slower than it actually is.
