old version
 

thanks for reply....had another look at the L/W5.....got the bit rate bit.....does it have anywhere a preview button like in the old version as it allowed me to cancel the download if i didnt like the track.......if not will prob use the old version.....i'm on windows sp 2002 sp3....which old version is best to use?

LW 4.18.8 should be fine to use. Yes at this point in time, LW 5 is missing several tools LW 4 has. Probably will not be until later in year when some of these tools make a return.

Previewing is a little different in LW 5. You Right-click the downloading file & choose option to play it.

To preview files without creating a preview file which can take up space on computer, see How to stop creation of PREVIEW files in your incomplete folder

thanks for the reply....after looking at 5 version...going to stick with the old one for now....thanks for your help.:aweof:

hehe :) Not surprised ... many others have downgraded back too. :)
