problem with downloading music
 

when i down load music ,all songs come up as mp3 under the type tab.how do i change it to download as avi

Hi Babydoll.
AVI Files are Video Files. MP3 Files are Audio Files. What exactly are you trying to do??
Here is a list of "Common File Extensions" that may help you understand what you may see on the Network.

Common File Extensions
Hope this Helps. :D

hi,when i search for a song for example a list comes up,and under TYPE shows mp3. but before they used to come us as something different.the mp3 doesnt download for me.only half or part of the song.i wanted to know is there a way to change this.

And that's just the very very most common. I am surprised how many extensions that list doesn't include, such as apple's m4a audio format or the almost equivalent mp4 (so I wonder how old that list is). But this list will help you with the most basic file extensions. ;)

(this is a good way to find out what a particular file extension might do FILExt - The File Extension Source )

I agree Lord. I think it is a very basic short list. I was surprised also not to see .srt.

Babydoll, How are you performing your search?? Are you searching under the Audio Tab?? Title, Artist, Album, or are you using the "All Types" Search Function. Try just the Audio Tab and see what choices you have to choose from.

i lick audio tab then go to artist and then type the name of the song.then after a few seconds all the songs listed are in mp3 format :(

Yea that is normal. Can you offer up a little more detail for instance, PC or Mac. I can't believe EVERY MP3 Won't Play. Please give more detailed Info. Thanks

You may get some good Info from this Sticky: How to find music :)

pc,the songs do play but not 100% they download to 100% but stop playing at maybe 90 -95%. i have downloaded EDIT and not one song will play its full length.

Well....Sorry Babydoll but I'm out of suggestions. I don't use Limewire anylonger so I'm drawing a blank. Hopefully someone else might have an Idea. I do know that the Later versions of LW are very buggy and that may be some of the problem if you have updated recently.

thanks so much. i reinstalled it because my pc crashed a few weeks ago.i have no idea if it the new version or not.if you dont use lime wire anymore could you suggest something else ?
