I just discovered this method by spotting these odd titled tracks.

Luckly I did some research on it and found this article.

The problem with this is that Overpeer went overboard in January of 2005.

Also considering that this is the first time that I have seen files like this under WMA format, means that it could be more widespread.

Discuss.

Whenever I search for music, I sort it by "size" if a file is suspiciously small or has an odd name in the title or any of the descriptors, thats a sign it's a rotten file and you shouldn't download it

I usually always avoid .wma and suspiciously small files on FrostWire/LimeWire.

And yeah I've been noticing those same files showing up whenever I do a music search. :P
