Go LW>Tools>Options>Player and unmark the square that says " Use LimeWire Media Player"

The next time you try to preview a music file LW will open with your default player. If that isn't the VLC player, then go and uninstall the VLC player and reinstall it. That should make it the default player.
If you haven't downloaded it, go here:

Are you using Windows XP

I read somewhere on the forum that VLC for some reason will not work previewing files in Limewire

You can go to the Limewire library click on a file then press explore and the folder that contains the file will open

(note: in some cases VLC will detect that the file is not complete and will offer to fix it for you. If that happens press cancel.)

If that happens you can still preview the file in most cases after pressing cancel. If it does not work then you can just copy the incomplete file to your desktop and choose to fix that file instead. Then just delete the copied file when finished previewing it.

If you choose to fix the file in the incomplete folder. Limewire will not recognise the incomplete file after the fix and you will have to download the whole file again

[wondering why]

It might be easier for jlau to use WMP as the default player for the preveiws and install the codecs for that...As you said sleepless VLC wont preview files...

Also jlau take no notice of luke_91....

[jlau]

yes i use windows xp

i understood that VLC is no working with LimeWire, i would prefer that it does... so i'm going to put WMP as my default player

wondering why:could you give me a link to download a good codec?


thanks for your help to all
