I was trying to download some songs into my Mp3 player, now that I have figured out how to do that, now I need to figure how to tell the difference between a song clip versus a full song before downloading. I have tried to download several songs and a lot of them end up just being parts of songs, is there a way to tell on Limewire before downloading if you are getting a clip or a full song?

There are fake files on the network, and you can't avoid all of them. My advice would be to pay attention to the file size. Get a feel for what file sizes should look like. With higher bitrates, you'll see larger file sizes. This link will tell you more:
