still fixing the audio, be patient before you 1

Hey, I'm not complaining.

Nice...Thanks

5'd

That's not a secret. It played when I setup Windows.

Oh, I get what you mean.

yeah its ok, silly ms stored it in images

i had searched for a while too

thank you thank you thank you 5'd

SELLS ENEMA BAGS FOR BUSFARE THEN STEALS BIKE ALSO I HAVE A STANDARD MONITOR LOL

-1

hooray

listen to the full version, its very relaxing. C:/WINDOWS/system32/oobe/images/title.wma

The need to put a DnB song for Vista, or it will never sell.

Sounds similar to the music done in Halo. Halo being made by microsoft, any wonder that the 2 may be related.

All of the sounds of XP were composed by Bill Brown. Look him up. He has also composed the music for a lot of games that you are familiar with (C&C Generals, Rainbow Six 3 etc.)

oh noes the downvoters are here

i never hear this music when i reinstall windows, maybe its only if you have a sp2 version of the disc and not upgrading from sp1a

well now you can have it whenever you want :)

couldnt that song have been found by searching for .wma files and not going through folders ect. individually?

win

That's pretty cool. Never noticed it before, but a very good chillout song. Sounds sorta Brian Eno-ish.

I heard that one when I installed my Windows Xp, anyway 5+

I actually didn't hear it in most of my installs becuade I didn't have audio dirvers or speakers

Give head for gas money then pisses in your mouth and I have a plasma monitor lol

-1

i dont have the muisic in x64

feltches for bus fare, then stole n*gg*'s bike. i haev a projector lolol

-1

that is trippy. it makes me feel like setting up software!

rofl thats awsome!.....uhhh one question tho...why did microsof put it here and it dosent even do anything :c

Erm..... ok?

OMG IT DOESN'T WORK ON MAC?!?!?!?!

nice find!

I never heard this song before.

what you've never heard this?!?!?!?!?! your a f*cking mub, never set up a f*cking comptuer before?! i heard this yesterday with this new comp. LAME!

-1

You're an idiot.

...sooo soothing...

my god.. suddenly.. must buy everything Microsoft.. NOO GET OUT OF MY HEAD BILL GATESSSSSSSSSS

The very first time I installed XP, which was like 5 years ago, once it finished installing, this music played to a little 3D display of a microsoft XP logo. I never saw it again after installing other times. =(

this didnt play when i was setting up! wtf?! i feel cheated!

0_o Odd...

oh I see what you did there

Win2K > WinXP, despite what Micro$oft says

HOW THE BALLS DID U FIND THAT that song is f*cking sweet! i had no idea microsoft could compose like that!

^Sure, if you like frequent crashes. Gotta love the ambient MS provides.

I remember hearing this - nowadays I just format so my sound card won't play this smooth tune

jerks off, sh*ts on a cat, rapes three taxi drivers on the way to work and i have an LCD monitor lolololol

5

catchy and soothing... ^_^

gg

I can't find that folder... :(

AWESOME thanks, im listening to it right now

Ahhhhh...

metaphorical boner

Are you kidding me? This is so freakin' old, I can't believe so many people didn't know about it.

kinda catchy

neat. always fun to find stuff on my HD i'd never seen. ipodded for relaxationativity.

I deleted the sound and now i have to format my harddrive :'(

old news, dude

Cool. I'll take a look. BUT, though informative, this wasnt really funny. I fear I must four you.

I always liked that song. I found it a while back but its nice to see other people liked good audio.

Whoever said it sounded like Brian Eno... well, apparently ALL the XP sounds are by Brian Eno. :)

yessssssssss

f*ck I just released this woulda been an awesome new mystery song

Holy sh*t. Nice.

Can't tell you how many times I've looked for this but come up short... this has to be the best feature of Windows yet, also crashes. LOL

and no... orion44... I would have got the "mystery song" in about 2.3 seconds...

That sound...is the sound of mistakes. I remember hearing that music for the first time about 5 years ago...I wish I hadn't.

indeed

any google search would have told you that...in 2001

how is this secret? i hear it everytime i reinstall windows

I have reinstalled my computer 7 times and never heard it because I format my drive before every reinstall, thereby (obviously) wiping my drivers. Therefore, cool.

chunders cum onto a pair of dice for a subway token then walks and i have a Laterna Magica lol

-1

Wow. Go figure.

Thanks man, the music is great. normally this would be 3, but in this case you get 5.

center image with corresponding background color to make 1:1 mockery

WOW what a tune lol its amazing

they put it in the image directory! the bastards!

This is from the final bit before setup, but if Windows doesn't have sound drivers for your soundcard when you install, you won't hear it.

Windows fails at installing sound drivers first.

The music Microsoft never wanted us to hear...

i have three bus fares, a taxi fare, gas money, and a subway token, boys ;)

If XP installs your sound drivers for you then you can hear this. 4/5 because it scared the living sh*t out of me the first time I heard it.

that song has always sounded like a slow porno groove to me

wow secret music on a buggy operating system. who cares?

-1

You're awesome.

People seem reeeeally desperate for a reason to downvote this one. Calling people noobs for not having known yet, restating the concept of the site as if that itself were lame(see directly above)... try harder, guys.

+1

Old as hell. Who really cares?

(no longer directly above, I commented a second too late)

5'd cause I found it =)

They don't want the real world to find it! IT HAS HIDDEN PROPERTIES. LIKE THE POWER TO RULE THE INTERNETS!!! :O

Oh my god... I love you

Sounds like something out of EVE Online.

all those who 1'd just found out about the sound today lol

Awesome.

Wtf? where did this music comefrom?

i heard this when i ran setup. it's no secret, most just don't have drivers for audio when they install.

I swear that song is on a cafe del mar album...

how did you find that?

So there's music playing when XP is being installed, how is this new or funny or interesting?

-1

no

And that's funny because...?

i'm gonna have to agree with the downvoters...this is old news.

THIS IS THE SOUND THAT JESUS MADE!!!!111ftw!

Windows is for cockf*gs lawl!~

you found it gold!!

you WIN. does this music remind anyone else of Sonic 3's ending music? :P

People who dont think thats funny are not Computer Aliterate. I remember being angry because I had to format and got to the setup and was like wow.

Nothing new. When you take the tour when you first intall Windows XP, it's that music.

The whole thing is 16 minutes long! Wow though, I never expected Microsquish of being able to produce something this... rhythmic. Kudos on the discovery.

Its too damn continous, it needs some more punch to it, and needs to pick up fater. But i never suspected that this would be in windows program, sounds like its from an old video game.

This is awesome darn downvoters

not secret at all. buy any prebuilt PC from best buy or something and when you first run it and set up your windows user info, this plays (because like people said.. sound drivers, duh)

cooltastic.

OMFG I LOVE THIS SONG! 5 4TW!

Sound source? C:/WINDOWS/system32/oobe/images/title.wma (Lex Luthor) WRONG! C:WINDOWSsystem32oobeimagestitle.wma

Oh I just failed the internet, can't do a backslash I guess. I'll 5 it for being a nub :p

ive found that a long time ago

5'd, because I love the music. I found it when tinkering with a fresh install of XP once, and FLIPPED OUT, because I didn't know it existed standalone, I thought it was shell intarated somwhere. But I promptly burned to a CD and listen to it in my car. So soothing.

1'd for old news.

you just found this...?

Big deal.

It would be legendary if mystery song was there :p

-4 for windows

How the f*ck is this secret. I hear this when I got my laptop a few weeks ago.

someone remix this with 'sing of shoe on head'

I really like this for some bizzare reason.

5 for music! 5 for truth! :D

I liked it, too bad I'm a noob and can't figure out how to find it on my pc.

That music played for me when I was setting up windows..

nvm, found it, ty for origin.

awesome spacey/mellow music. now come the remixes...

needs more cowbell

f*ck you mac guys, Windows XP may not be perfect, but it's used by the masses for a reason.

Hm, never heard it before.

hypnotizing.

5 and favd thanks for this, I always wanted to know this

5 because this was definitely not a regretful click.

-1 Since I found this a looong time ago (pre-SP1). -1 because it doesn't even play during that startup, only during the "setup your system and activate" screen. +3 for the music

Meh, why not. 5'd because I feel like it.

The song reminds me of music from a heated love scene in a porn.

wow...it actually worked...

Wow, for a simple set up song, that's prety relaxing to listen to.

People who are needlessly anti-MS should die. Sure, they stupid sh*t sometimes, but they're human. Deal.

^@Shadowchaos -4 for Mac/Linux/Darwin/DOS/hypocrasy

Isn't this the audio that plays while you setup your computer for the first time?

lol... Known about this for ages. Its not a bad track.

Yep, I remember hearing that while setting it up. Thanks for locating in on the HD!

nice!!!!!

5'd for finding the best sound EVER! Very calm and soothing.

5 becasue I was looking for this ever since I 1st set up my machine. That song kicks ass.

O_o

I think he means the LOCATION was a secret....dumbasses...dont have xp but im giving u a 5 because of retarded voters

OMFG! ITS IN MY COMPUTER!

Wow, thanks.

Is it enyas lol

i stole mine, so never heard this

I can't believe it is in my computer too!!!

OMFG I've reformatted just to listen to it.

wtf

HAHA, oh man. When I reinstalled Windows on this computer I didn't continue for like an hour becuase I was listening to this. :D

+5 for this being a ytmnd, -1 for xp, -1 for just seeing this on a website then making a ytmnd.

awesome!

I will five this when you provide a link to download the full song, I only have windows 2k.

I believe Brian Eno only created the original Windows 95 start up sound...although this definately could be Brian Eno

I've found it YEARS ago thanks to TechTV. Also, a simple Google search for "windows xp setup music" reveals the answer in the very first search result. Where the hell were you looking? On a Linux box?

Known about it for god awful long time.

ha i know! i heard this when i set up xp on my pc

This sounds like Half-Life 2 Music

YAY

THOSE WHO WANTED IT http://rapidshare.de/files/24296028/title.wma.html

first time i heard this i was in a different room while xp was setting up. it was all WTF LOL. try listening to it while watching the graphic things on windows media player or i tunes

i hate this song actually

AWESOME! Listening to it right now.

anyone listen to the whole thing? hear those guys chanting?

OMG that music rox fav'd

Oh I remember this tune, nice job finding it

meh u earned a 3, all you have to do is Search for Title.wma, plus this was discovered well over a year ago

lol i learned how to find that from texh tv

feels like nothing else matters but the sad times i've had with everything in my life. =(

M$ sucks, your getting a 1.

This music sounds like it should be accompanied by a sine scrolltext that reads "Cracked by zooFile, music by bluz, greetz go out to..."

At first I thought it was the game over music from Donkey Kong Country.

jesus f*ck no! it reminds me of reimaging!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone else think it kinda sounds like the Streets of Rage theme song? 4'd because... 4 is a cool number.

...Congrats?

LOL I have had this on my mp3 player for like forever! I thought everyone alredy had this.

Hahaha, good job microsoft.

OMFG ITS SO GOD DAM ANNOYING! I HOPED ID NEVER HAVE TO HEAR IT AGAIN! But a year later i do, thx *ss =P

THAT IS SO f*ckING WEIRD. i wanted this song like a couple days ago, I'm like "screw it, I'll never find it" and this comes up. how ironic. i love you.

Take that macs

...And?

I swear that sounds like the ending music from Streets of Rage for the Genesis.

The power of synth.

This is okay. Interesting, I never heard it.

sweet , I'll add it in my iPod later I love this kinda music ...

how is this a "secret" if I see it every time I reformat my computer, you moron

I dont get it...

I found it on mine too.

MS pulled a bauman with Enigma

it sounds like softcore porn music

Cool song, very relaxing. I might just jerk off to it.

This would have been funny if it played during the BSOD (even though it's not possible) to keep you from punching your pc...

Woah, nice find. 5'd.

I found this along time ago, I remember saving it on my old computer and playing it in my media player. Kinda nostalgic Great tune.

I've had this in my playlist for YEARS. Just let your media player trawl for all music on your computer...

"Sounds similar to the music done in Halo. Halo being made by microsoft, any wonder that the 2 may be related." Edwardswolentoe: Microsoft publishes Halo, Bungie Studios makes it. See me after class, lol.

secret? I hear this f*cking song everytime I setup a PC at work, fail.

I constantly reinstall XP just to hear that song.

I used to hear this when I would re-install Windows XP, I guess its only a pre SP2 thing, I never hear it anymore ;-(

It's meant to keep people from kicking their monitors in during that annoying installation. Still, good song.

WTF

Now someone needs to remix this. With some YTMND's in there.

Not funny. Take it elsewhere plz.

I'd one this but then again you had no life and looked for the sound....so you deserve a five. Microsoft blows, but this music sure doesn't.

They use this music somewhere in Encarta, too.

Song always reminded me of something out of Sim City.

Wow, thanks so much!

How you found it... ill never know...

already knew, lol

sounds like it could be in Halo o_O Not really... funny, per se.

Old, sry pal... beh.. anyway, i give a 5'

Finally. I've been lookin for that.

Dude, I was f*cking wondering where that sound file was! Luff jh00.

this ytmnd sucks ass, one'd!

Thanks for this.

your outragous for finding this

Not so secret. My XP home install for my laptop had that as the soundtrack.

how is that secret? I've heard it while installing windows before.

awesome

gay

Bill Gates is trying to make xp sound good... good one

I guess the bootleg xp doesn't have it =(

"What's funny is that I've heard better music with 2mb keygens." 2mb keygens? That's huge. Most keygens are only around 100kb.

I didn't turn the speakers on when I was setting mine up.

lol, i discovered this some time ago. Think one day i was bored and searched for all media files and it found it. I didnt hear it when i installed XP tho, sicne my drivers werent installed.

thats been around since whistler beta i dunno why they took itout. i liked it

5'd...already knew about this a long time ago...but who knew it would make a great YTMND :)

cool thanks

hmmm, never knew about this...I mean, who sits around and watches windows install, I've got better thing to do, but if I had known...

adds to playlist

THIS IS THE SONG BILL GATES PUTS ON TO MAKE LOVE TO HIS WIFE . Good find tho, nice song :D
