Downloaded songs play 1st 5 seconds over and over again!

[jules197722]

Ok, I have had this problem with Bearshare and Limwire and I am not sure how to fix it.

A download will complete and save to my folder. When i go to play it (no matter which player I choose), all it does is repeat the first 5 seconds of the song over and over again.

As the song is downloading, it will say (ex. 75% complete), I will hit the preview button and it previews the same exact way! This is not spurratic, it is constant.

I had a Ping in the backround because I thought my connection might be timing out but this is not the case.

Has any one ever had this problem?

I have the same problem, the songs play only the first five seconds over and over. Any idea on how to fix this issue?

these songs are put there by my guess is the music industry to discourage you from downloading. to them, making it hard for you to find a "real" song will encourage you to pay for your music.
