Question Music Download Problem

Sorry if this is a simple problem, but Im getting a bit frustrated....

I am having problems downloading songs, I can find the songs Im looking for but when I double click the song to download, it just sits at the bottom of the screen not downloading. Under the "Status" collumn it says "connecting" Butg nothing happens.

Please help!

Try to select those that have multiple sources under the # column & have 3 or 4 stars which represents your chances for a successful connection & downld.

You can also select it from the downld window & press Stop button. Then go back to search results & reselect to downld. This sometimes revitalises the downld. Particularly if it started but stopped or your LW was too busy at the time.

Some hints: A well set-up LW can start to automatically continue its dwnlding after it's settled down perhaps 2 out of 3 times you open LW. Optimising LW & Maximising Uplds & Dwnlds A (1st post only) & also Part B which is even better & last & least are search & dwnld hints. The latter one I've been thinking about re-writing for some time. That's just for playing it safe. eg- I show all speeds & qualities.

Thumbs up

Thanks LotR,

Turns out it was a Firewall issue. Firewall on = no music. Firewall off = music.

Whoda thunk it?!

Thank you for your reply nevertheless.
