If you change the file extension to RTF and open it as unicode it opens as about 600 pages of chinese or japanese characters. Thoughts?

EDIT: never mind that works with anything. These files do have a huge amount of seemingly erroneous characters in them though compares to a normal mp3

I think it has something to do with the abnormal sample rate.

That's just an ID3 tag, typical of most songs.

Oops, didn't saw your post before posting. Forget about my previous post.

Let's all focus on John Cage - Fuente De La Conocimientos, that's the right direction.


I agree but normal ID3 tags don't have those that i'm aware

 		OMG, I can't believe John Cage was the 'False Cage'!

Who knew that knowing something about his music would come in handy? I thought that studying music comp was the most impractical major in the world (though I guess this isn't the most practical application).

Anyway, let's crack this thing. I'm excited about it.

This track has to be the clue. Remember this quote from Junko's wall:

Quote:
Patrick Marckesano False cage opened so little bird will fly. I LOVE you sisters. I am willing to DIE for you. My eternal thanks to you for letting me redeem both my heart and mind!
16 hours ago


So something in this song is connect to our "little bird" stuck in the white room... but what?

Could be, but there's a lot of extra info in all the sounds files from the fake google, including all songs and sounds. Not all of those are original recordings, although I didn't check all the sample rates.

EDIT: the songs are all 44.1 kilohertz except the Cage song. That song and all the sound files are 48

You said all of the sounds are in 48. So, I guess higher sample rate -> weird data?

I have broken your code raving lunatic militant feminists fascista!!! XD

The song of myspace by John Cage is a fake! This was obvious the first time I've heard. But it took a while to get the notes transcribed by a musician friend. The score was written using a text generator to MIDI called P22 (http://p22.com/musicfont/). This was was written for John Cage proyect!

I have tried today all letters upper case and lower case so I could translate the whole song to backwards. I have two strings out of it: REvOlUTiOn, ExPECTinG. It seems like a codes or encryption keys? Not sure why it is necesary for two of them.... Read More

Rest of the guy's quote:

Quote:
Lo unico que yo quiero en este momento es que nos demos cuenta de como nosotros en Zonaforo hemos resuelto las adivinanzas mas rapido que nadie. Empezamos tarde y ahora estamos primero que Los demas. Somos mucho mas rapido que los de unFiction y Los Russos. LOS CHILENOS LES ROMPREMOS LAS NALAGAS A TODOS!!!!!!!!


Which translates very roughly to

Quote:
The last thing that I want right now is to give credit to us in Zonaforo, who have resulted in advances faster than anyone. It's getting late, and right now we're the first of the rest. We are much faster than unFiction and the Russians. The Chileans will kick everyone's asses!


Who is Zonaforo?

Well, all of them have the weird data, even the ones with normal sample

Yeah its bit arrogant for those guys to say they are moving much faster than us. It's not a race, but I know from going there that they have gotten info from us, and I am sure info has leaked the other way as well. Oh well.
