DON'T, and I repeat, don't use the LW player as a regular mp3 or whatever player.
It is only there to preview the files you are downloading in order to check if they are indeed the files you want.
At times it may chop or stop (for a while then restart-or not), but don't be bothered: it wasn't designed to be the best player around.
Don't click multiple songs (or even worse, multiple movie clips) to launch on the player unless you don't like your computer and like seeing it get stuck.
Just use it to check if the files are indeed the ones you want and then wait. Let the file download and then play it in your regular player.

Patience is indeed a virtue.
