some of my music wont play because it says codec blah blah blah, erm wot the h@@L is that all about

CODEC is the long explanation.

They are mini programs that convert a particular format so a player can open & play it. VLC will open both audio & video files happily because it has in-built codecs. Try it out: VLC - (click on link) _ (choose nearest mirror site)

had a look am in uk which one you recommend

and is it safe

Any one. I downloaded the one from france yet I live over the opposite side of the world. Yes it's safe ... no it doesn't have spyware, adware or anything suspicious like that. We wouldn't recommend it otherwise. It's predominantly a video player, but also does a fine job at playing audio & is very good at audio or video streaming. It can play dvd's & vcd's also, etc.

done what they asked sent 3 texts got my activation code and not a thing changed i feel ripped off is this a scam????

Ah I think you bought from a scam site. See Membership? -** BEWARE**- Download p2p Clients ONLY Thru Official Sites (click on link)

And also get your $$$ BACK!!! (music members)

Some scam sites offer LimeWire (Basic which is really free) & charge you extra for video codecs, which you can get for free anyway.

There's only one place to get LimeWire & that's from the "Official" site. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/home.shtml They don't advertise getting illegal material from the net. In fact, they don't advertise.
