Jukebox, low bit rate

I noticed some interesting behavior with the Jukebox.

 

I have 2 MP3 files in my collection with a 64 kbps bitrate. The Jukebox likes to play these at double speed. I assume this is an intentional feature to embarrass me in front of my guild mates, but further consideration offers the possibility that it might be a bug.

 

So, should I file a bug report, or take the hint and upgrade my sound library?

If your audio files are not two channel/stereo, yes they won't play at the desired speed.  The jukebox has many bugs and this is just one of them.  To submit a bug report, you can with the attached audio files, if you want to.

It's too late Haxar… that cat is out of the bag and our work here is done.

Daddy Warcrimes, it's time you know the full story.  Some time ago, through our complicated spy network (which includes your parents, who are double agents btw) we noticed you were running Ventrilo in WINE and had these 64kbps MP3s on your harddrive.  We devised a plan to ridicule you in front of your online friends as revenge for something you did in third grade.  You do remember that incident, don't you?  I thought so.

So, we set out to write something that we knew you wouldn't be able to resist.  A jukebox client that only played 44.1kHz 128-bit stereo MP3s.   But of course, we wouldn't tell you that last part.  The plan was to get you really excited about the jukebox and have you try to show it off the your friends.

Of course, the plan was obviously a stroke of shear genius since it worked flawlessly.  I want to thank all involved for making this humiliation a reality.

Looks like it's time to close up shop and hit the next name on the list.
