Sources for the compilation rescene "X-Mix Dance"

[kasten]

Guys, I need help with this .NFO, I would like to know if this NFO is from a non-scene group or if it is a pattern generated by MorGoTH's MP3Releaser software?

I have the X-mix Dance Series 1 - 95 compilations, some folders have NFOs and SFV, and some folders only have the .SFV file, I would like to recene all the folders, but I can't find sources for all of them.

When running SFV it does not match the files, I believe the file is correct but the names have been changed so SFV does not check correctly.

its the standard nfo skeleton of MorGoTH.
another thing what you could do but mostly topsite are stripping the SFV of comments.
SFV Files are looking like this from MorGoTH:

@Zekas
I already imagined that would be it.
So are there any scene releases for X-Mix Dance Series 1 - 95?
Especially for early releases?

 

[Zekas]

EGO & XXL did a few back then.
sometimes tagged as 'VA-X-Mix_Dance_Series_ or 'VA-X-Mix_Dance_Issue_

 

[kasten]

This is an example of the folder I have, all the files are wrong when you check SFV.

You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.

 

[Zekas]

accordingly to the sfv file i would say that you are dealing with a nonscene release because of the timestemp and the original morgoths generator comment.

Which would had been normally been stripped from the groups pre process.
mp3shitter the oldest mp3 info site which is still online doesn't list it. The leaked PREDB a while back is just an echo of an IRC channel, which doesn't list them either.

 

[kasten]

Right.
But are mp3 files fake if you consider the .SFV information?
I am not right?

 

[Zekas]

Since i do not have access to an irc dupe check i would consider this more as a non scene or user generated release.
Saying that the mp3 files are fake purely out of hash reasons, i don't think so. Since changing something in the ID3Tag can already alter the hash, but not the music track itself.

 

[kyll_bil]

Right.
But are mp3 files fake if you consider the .SFV information?
I am not right?

files have been rapped from the original package
id3 tags : style, comment and tracknumber are suspicious
but ... mp3 files are not coming from a scene release, in 2005 mp3 encoder used was lame 3.90

 

[kasten]

The problem here is that I would like to return the files to what they were at the beginning or discard them if these files have already been converted or if they have already been pre-staged, something like that.

 

[Zekas]

Well since they are CBR192 you can already discard them from the scenen rules, because of VBR ruling at that time, the other reasoning would be the spectrum analyse.
For a native CBR192 they should had been 18 kHz instead they are 16 kHz, which could result out of CBR128 upsampling.
