well it'll let me download the songs but it won't play them.
you just go to your library, highlight the song && click launch right?

Are you using the LW/FW player? Have you tried disabling the player & using another (if so, what other player(s) have you tried)? Have you been able to preview songs during download?

Are you getting any error message(s) when you try to play a song?

it won't let me preview the songs when they're downloading either.
it's like my speakers don't work or something
&& i know they do...

i haven't tried disabling the player or using something else.
i'm not getting error messages either. :[

ok well someone on the FW chatroom helped me with it.
i can play them on realplayer && windows media now :]
i still can't play them on the FW/LW player though if that's gonna be a problem....

To be honest, the LW/FW player is horrible so you're better off using another player anyway:p

But if you're desperate to use the built in player, try this: Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later (just substitute FW for LW here...I'm not going to edit the whole thing;))

yes i am another of those sad people who has been scammed and paid for something that should have been free in the first place! What a sucker! They have also been taking money every time i download a song onto MP3!!

birdy July 24th, 2007 08:45 PM

jennibear, you need to contact your bank/CC company right away & let them know what's happened. They might advise you to cancel your card.

I don't know how long ago you signed up for the scam deal, but maybe this thread will help. It's referring to LW users but the advice is still good:)
get your $$$ BACK!!! (music members)

Thanks to your posts about scams and the REAL sites FAQ's and info about the true cost of LW Pro, I realized I had also paid $$$ to a site obviously scamming me. Of course, my DL was the actual LW site so how would I know if I hadn't read further? When the bill came in I flagged it and contacted my CC company and they didn't even question it- they immediately credited me for the amount charged. Thank God! I felt like such an idiot to be sucked in like that! These people are really evil and prey on those of us who are "newbies" to all this. BUT...I'm learning!
