Help (Problems with previewing, and songs with licenses)
 
I am new to using Limewire and I am having issues and I don't know if it is me or what. First thing is when I hit preview to see if the song I am downloading is what I want the limewire player doesn't play why is that?? Second most of the songs I am looking for pop up a screen about liscense how do I get the songs with liscense???????

Thank you for any help I can get

The LW player isn't good. Try disabling it (tools > options > player) & using another player. If songs still won't preview, maybe you're downloading spam/fake files... there are lots around.

Not working
 
Thank you for your advise about changing players I have done that and it still wasn't working. What type of player do you use? I am new to all this and I feel really stupid that the computer is winning. So what is your advise to watch out for good searches??

I use iTunes or VLC. Check out this thread, there's a link for downloading VLC (it's free & has codecs installed to play most file types, it's very reliable): http://www.gnutellaforums.com/tips-t...p3-fixers.html

For info about searching & files to avoid etc, see the links that I posted in post #2. There's lots of info there, so just go through it slowly & carefully:)
