There are a lot of scammers using the Gnutella network.

As an extra safety precaution, I suggest you make sure your player does not connect to the internet automatically.

Thanks for your tips. How do I stop my player not connecting to the internet automatically.

A player I know that does not allow internet connections via audio files with URL links is one called VLC - (click on link), which is both a video player and can be used as an audio player. It is a highly reliable player of files, though it is basic in design. It's great to use for obtaining streaming video or audio online also.

While VLC appears basic in design, it actually has some rather advanced features. I enjoy its variable speed playback with sound; allows me to speed my way through documentaries. It can also time-shift if video and audio are out of sync.
