Audio Quality

[coltrane]

I have a question about audio quality of files. Most of the files I download skip or stop during playback. However, I am not sure if this is due to the file, or my computer. It seems that if I try to do any other task during playback (even typing this post) it causes the song that is playing to skip. Is there a way around this? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

It sounds like you might be using LimeWire's built in MP3 player. This is not the worlds greatest (or most efficient) player. I suggest you get a stand-alone media/audio player and use that instead. If you still get problems in playback it could be the files themselves.

If you are using a PC - go to www.winamp.com and download winamp - if the files don't play back smoothly then the files are stuffed. If they do then change players from whatever you are using now. If you aren't using a Windows operating system then... I can't help.

thanks for the responses - Winamp seems to have corrected the problem, I've only found a few files that truly sound bad. My machine is also outdated and it is sortof a point of pride with me that I won't get a new one.

Any thoughts on burners to buy? I actually don't have one, but clearly need one. Soon.
