Problem
 

I recently d/l Limewire and about 80% of the time i play a song, it stops about 5-10 seconds in an i have to retry till it plays....any ideas?

try to use your default player instead of the limewire one

would that be my only solution...because id rather not run another program

They're probably bad/fake files:(. The 20% that play are good files:).

Info can be found in the stickies. Here's one worth checking out: Major Topics for Upload/Download Help

And as Sleepless said the limewire player is not the best, so if the file skips or cracks it could be the player;).

thanks, and i live in Pittsburgh so nice avatar.:p

skipping, jumping or stuttering
 

Hello I'm new here and would like to know if you please, I did not know that I could listen to the music with the limewire product thought I could ony d/l music. anyhow I used the Windows Media palaer I found some songs skipping or jumping what ever you call em I am wondering if it could be just the player will the songs still have these skips when I burn them to CD for personal listening to while driving in a friends car? Should I like delete the bad songs and try looking for them agian do a new search?
Thanks for any and all help or info.

:cool: Its good being a Steeler fan:D

@ freakyg,

The LimeWire player is just a basic player, it tends to skip especially if you have other programs running while your using it. Try playing the files several times in a different player(windows player should be fine) when your not running any other programs or surfing the net. If it always skips in the same place then it is probably the file. If it plays ok then it should be safe to burn.

Thank you for the help, Now for another question could the skipping be caused by trying to d/l more than one song at a time?

PS steeler fan is that a sport of a hint of pirace?

It shouldn't but I don't know for sure. If you have a lot of files queued waiting to be downloaded in LW that can have some unwanted side affects.
Hey, good one. Could be both;).

no, lol...Pittsburgh Steelers, Super bowl Champs...


I was in oakland for the game, crazy...plus i got a chance to be front row for the parade.

Cool:cool: I live about 100 miles NE of Pittsburgh, couldn't make it with work an all. Saw pics in the paper looked like a ton of people came out for it.

yea i go to RMU which is right up the road....good time

no skipping
 

Ok I listen to a song(s) more than once to make sure it plays without a blip is this safe to burn or ?
Sorry if I seem to harp but as I say I'm slow to learn but once i do I finaly get it:D

It should be but I'm no expert. I put my songs on an mp3 player and if I accidently put a bad file on it, I can just erase it. No harm done.
The most you can do is try it, and if you end up wasting a few cds then you'll have something to set your drink on, or use them as frisbees, or throw them at the neighbors cat:D.
