I'm downloading songs from LW & moving them to Windows Media Player 11, Burn, playlist. Once there I listen to the songs from Windows Media Playlist. But before I caught the problem I burned a couple of CD's which were really choppy & bad, but now the problem occurs just at the last 20 seconds. This eve I moved a new song from LW to a different player/burn/playlist and listened to the song & it has the same problem, that site had a clock that's how I was able to see the problem began at 20 sec before the songs ended. The worst problem now is that the songs are all being shared from my LW. I don't know if I should delete all of the bad songs because they are being shared. I'll try to figure out how to block McAfee & use windows Fire wall. I haven't used Phex or Bearshare. (Whats that message "BearShare has been sabotaged ? ")

Try launching the songs from within LW's library & launch them with a different player, not WMP.

Am I understanding properly - you never used to have this problem & songs played fine thru WMP & burned to disc without the end being messed up? Have you tried downloading files from different sources...same song but a different version of it from a different source than the original download (eg higher bitrate, or download from a modem source rather than cable/dsl etc)? If you have songs in your library that used to sound fine, do they still play without a problem?

You can stop sharing files from your LW library. Right click the file > stop sharing file. Or if it's a whole folder that contains the crappy songs, stop sharing that folder (tools > options > sharing). You can delete things later on, if you want to, but for now I'd stop sharing them.

The title of that thread's just referring to how later versions of BS weren't working properly & gives a link to an expired beta version of BS which works well
