MP3-GIF: Hide Music Inside A Picture

Step 5 Finale

the .gif that you have now looks like a normal gif, but if you throw it into a music player it will play the mp3. The little devil guy on the front of this is one i made while making this instructable. download it and try it out.

if you dont want to do it this way or you want to know more go check out Thomas scott's instructions

END!!!

The little devil doesn't work, i think instructables convrts all pictures when it gets uploaded therefore loosing your compressed folder.

First comment is that your link to Tom Scott's page is broken and I didn't see anything on his site about this.
Second is that I've experimented with this for half dozen tries and all I get  is a Gif that displays the little devil picture in my player. (Quicktime, MediaPlayer Classic and Windows Media Player 11 (on XP SP3). The file is properly concatenated/combined (according to length) and  MPC  counts time as if it were playing it but no sound; QT and WMP display the GIF but don't do anything else.
If I rename the combined file extension as MP3 they play it ok without the picture.

you can also hid rar files in the gif as well. i did this on windows so linux and mac users i think you can work out what im doing. use winrar to compress a file(s) then run the command as copy pic.gif /b %2B ziped.rar /b out.gif then double clicking on the file (out.gif) will open up in a picture viewer whilst opening it up in winrar will show you the file(s) and the beauty of this is that i cant see any data loss. the only problems are 1 if you don't put a password on the rar file then its very insecure and 2 people can see that a gif has something hidden inside it cause of the file size of the gif. but great though. thanks.
