Default I found that search is the key to avoid spam

I found from one article that if the song is kind of new and search is done with the full name of singer most results (4000 in my case) will be fake, therefore I couldn't download anyone of them. Searching with partial name gives fewer results but usable ones, now I can download.

The two songs that seem to consistently fail aren't too new (the third one is fairly recent) - they're [edit] with 2,824 results, and [edit] with 1,399 results.

Both icon and file extension under the Downloads section of the screen indicate that it's an mp3 - not sure if that'd be an indicator that the file isn't fake.

Default Artists & song names

Whoops sorry didn't realise I wasn't to post artists & song names - makes sense from a legal point of view now that I think of it.

Thanks for the links, wondering why... Really comprehensive, so I'll learn from it and have another go!
