limewire won't play my music i download (vista)

[irinacheer1010]

I dowloaded limewire but when my I press to play the songs, limewire wont play it, and the windows media player says that mps cant be played because of the codecs that i dont have or something. I have vista, can anyone help me on what I should to make my songs play?

LW's Media player is Horrible at Best.
I Feel the same way about WMP, but there is a Codec Pack for Vista in the Link Below.
You could try a different Media Player. VLC Media Player has Codecs Built in and is Highly recommended here on the Forums. VLC is primarily a Video Player, but will Play Most Audio Files as well.
If you want to keep the Media Player that you are using then download only ONE Codec Pac as more than ONE may cause Problems.
See the Link Below that LOTR's put together for other options that may help.
CODECs list for Movies/Alternate players / Video help forums/ video-mp3 fixers
Hope this Helps.

Sounds like a deliberately fake or corrupted file, spammed. Files to beware of: Virus thread: Typical virus spam file sizes - Make a note of them (click on blue link to see) & learn to recognise these file sizes & also the auto copying of your search term.

A typical audio file will be between 2 to 6+ MB, not KB. That would equate to 2,000 KB to 6,000 KB+ in size.
