Hello,
I am trying to download songs from the site below but in many movies the file size is about half MB and the sound has a disturbing metallic sound. Is there any other way to download it or its just jinxed at the server itself. Normally good quality mp3s have 4 to 5 MB sizes but this one is too compressed. Even the file size during download is higher (about 550 Kb) than the one sitting inside the disk after download (86 KB).
Any tips or tricks?

Does this have anything to do with GNU/Linux?

Yes. I am doing this exercise in Linux using w32 codecs. The doze user who recommended this site is happily using it.
Wonder if this same problem persists with vlc or all codecs for g-streemer?

I have downloaded mp3s from other sites and they play well. The point I observed is that highly compressed mp3s which occupy less space have a terrible tinny sound in the background. Can this be removed by re-encoding them using ffmpeg? If so, what parameters to give? It would be nice if someone could visit the site, download the song and experiment with it.

Using the link you sent in your first mail ...
$ file mera_naam_joker_--_09_jeen_yahan_marna_yahan.mp3 mera_naam_joker<...>.mp3: MPEG ADTS, layer III, v2, 16 kbps, 16 kHz, Monaural
Here's the problem ..................................^^^^^^^^
The mp3 has been encoded using a low bit rate. Most people prefer using 128kbps or 192kbps to get a decently good audio quality[1].

I know but is there any way to remove the tinny sound in the background or I say goodbye to such files?

Well, as far as I understand mp3 technology, you can't remove this 'tinny' sound simply because it is not something that has been 'added'. It is not the _presence_ of any additional data but rather the _absence_ of sufficient datat that gives the mp3 the tinny sound. Mp3 is a lossy compression.
So, bottom line is yes, you have to say goodbye to such files (or simply will have to get higher quality reproductions of such files).
