Question on MP3

[the gamer]

Ok I am kinda unsure if this is my speakers problem or the songs. I figured this would be the best place to ask cuzz its a music forum.

I found a song I like online and started lissening to some of it and it sounds like it has little fuzzy parts like maybe little pops (really little). Its hard to explaine but the song doesn't sound very clear but other songs I lissen to seem to be ok. I was wondering if its my speakers or the song. I am thinking its the song but I just wanted to check with others opinions.

It's the mp3. This is a pretty common occurrence for mp3's that were ripped from scratched/damaged CD's, or I guess it can also just be a freak occurrence during the ripping process.

AHHHH ok. I figured as much. I figured that might be the problem sence the song was going to be free for download. :P Its an ok song but I figured it was ripped or something if its free and the fact the song sounded like that which is hard to explaine. Thanks for the help on this question though. :) I always wondered about that sound from a few songs.

the mp3 was probably encoded at a low bitrate if it was free to download.
