Well, insofar as I understand it (and I'm not saying I do, I'm barely passing my Computer Science classes as it is), .GIF files are not picky about any data in them beyond what is necessary to construct an image. Meanwhile, WinAMP will basically play any data it can recognize from a file.

In short, using the Command prompt or MS-DOS, going to the directory where you've stored a .gif and a .mp3, and typing the command

copy <name of your .gif including extension> /b + <name of your .mp3 including extension> /b <name of the finished .gif including extension>
will concatenate all the data in the .mp3 to the .gif file and store it as a new .gif that Winamp can read the music data from.

Please feel free to correct me if I don't know what I really did. My GPA will thank you.

That's amazing. What else can you do with this knowledge?
I know PSP hacking is done through the same process.

> That's amazing.

If it's just file concatenation, then it's really not all that amazing.

It's just taking advantage of some "features" of the incredibly loose gif and mp3 specifications.

A real trick would be generating a gif such that it contains valid mp3 frames in the same bits and therefore stores the audio information in more of a subliminal channel rather than just tacking it on at the end of the file.

Can anyone name another, non-Windows audio player with similarly sloppy parsing/input validation?

For all those wondering what happens, if you open it in Winamp it plays a song from whatever movie its from.

A NIGHT AT THE ROXBURY
>> BobEnigma
I did it fine LOL... And it's animated. With the Roxbury song. Unfortunately the image is to small so it wont let me upload it here. But I got it to work first try.

I renamed the files for ease of use 1.gif and 1.mp3, then opened the folder they were in in command prompt. And typed...
C:\>copy 1.gif /b + 1.mp3 /b Roxbury.gif
It worked and is animated. E-mail me if you want it.
