p2pnet.net News:- Last week we ran an item saying Evanescence were apparently taking their The Open Door album release literally by making it available online.

"Unbelievable!!" - said Chapin Information Services’ Robert Chapin. "A very interesting development for the industry. They’re either trying to promote sales by giving away free MP3s, or they’re under a mistaken impression about how their Internet servers are designed."

After giving p2pnet readers a step-by-step, he’s followed up with MP3 Extractor, a small, free open source application he built, "to prove the presence and integrity of MP3 audio data downloaded from public Internet servers".

This first public version differs from the original, says Chapin on the download site, going on:

"It has been re-designed so that it does not involve the ASF media format.

"Rather than using an encapsulation decoder, MP3 Extractor uses the MP3 format to search for fragmented audio frames. The procedure is fast and very simple. It works with predictable patterns. Future versions may add more complex logic."

"The C++ version came out nicely," Chapin told p2pnet.

"It’s a 50 KB download now."
