I was running the free trial of bearshare 6 and was very happy with it. I downloaded tons of music. After a few weeks, Every time I tried to play a song that had been downloaded with bearshare I was given a message telling me that bearshare needed to acquire a license for that song, but the license would never download. I thought this might be because my free trial had expired, so I paid the one dollar to get bearshare premium for a month. I can dowload music but none of the music I download will play.

On the bearshare website it says that the problem I am having is a common one amongst people who have windows XP media center edition, which I have. The website also states that there is no way to fix this problem. I would be surprised if the people at bearshare are trying very hard to get this problem fixed. Does anyone here know what I can do to be able to listen to my music again? I have several gigs which took quite some time to download.
