[ [ It doesn't mean that someone could rename the file type of an [ infected file and then upload the file, a virus could have [ infected a system before a file was uploaded, or someone tries to [ use the site as a dumping ground for warez and the like. Every [ file uploaded will be thoroughly inspected before it is put into [ the public areas. :) If you load an audio file into a player and hear sound, I doubt there's any way a virus could be attached. So, the inspection wouldn't have to be terribly thorough - I'm sure you'll be listening to each file, or at least previewing a few seconds of the audio before moving them. If you're running Unix on your ftp server, I could whip up a program that scans files for each valid audio format, and reports on whether there are any extra chunks or segments attached which aren't useful.
