Can't play any music

[nmorell04]

I have had limewire for a while. I just reinstalled my windows and redownloaded limewire. Now I download songs and they won't play like normal in limewire it opens windows media player. When it opens wmp it won't play because it says I do not have rights to play this file. Help!

Nevermind everyone! I think I downloaded a couple of the "fake?" files. If anyone could help me in telling these apart from all the other one's though it would be greatly appreciated!

Check file sizes in search results - if something looks too small (say less than 2000 KB) then chances are it's junk. You can look up files with Bitzi before download: How to use Bitzi
If other users have rated the file, you'll see whether it's good or not.

Fake audio files
The ... before the extension, means it's a fake file! (unless the filename extends so check this by hovering your cursor over the name to see the whole filename.) Click on link to see an example
