Can't play songs

Hey guys, I just got Limewire last night. It won't play songs! I've clicked play but hear nothing!

Well it's either your computer settings such as volume control or LW is too busy with it's main functions to play them properly. Also, you can only preview songs you've partially downlded. You can't preview songs that show up in the search results unless you have downlded a % at least.)

If you disable LW's media player then your default player will play instead (LW's menu Tools>Options>Player & untick option & press Apply button.) If you don't have a reliable player then might I suggest you instead use iTunes: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ (it's free) OR QCD (also free): http://www.quinnware.com/

I've done done that and it still doesn't play.

On LW's menu bar is Tools. Select that then select Options. Wait for this window to open. Then go down to Player & untick box & press Apply.

It's still not working

So what is your default audio player? Open it & play some music. Can you hear anything? Sounds like a computer setting. How about volume, etc. Are you listening thru the comp or headphones? Go to your Control panels & open 'Sounds & Multimedia'. Check the settings.

When I play Kazaa I can hear the music.

Try left double clicking the icon, and see if it starts to play that way.

Also try and enqueue the file. Make sure the continous play option is checked. Then try the play button.

See if that helps.

Where does it have 'continous play'?
You really need to be specific in your posts, I'm new to Limewire.

The continuous button is on the playlist! Thought it would be obvious. It sits just above the player controls. Have a look at the play button. Just above it is the option to tick continuous. Have a look here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...487#post116487
