no luck yet but thanks. heres what ive done:
-selected song (mp3) with 5586 kb cable/dsl speed (avoided T3) and 128 bitrate.
-even hovered over it to review its properties/info. all looked good
-downloaded it fine
-played in win med player and it does play but with no sound, 32 K bits/second and 16:07 long. my visualization appears to have slowed down too.
-tried to repair this file with "mp3repairtool link b (free)" in your previous posted link dr tag reair and still no luck
could this just be a media player problem rather than the downloads im getting?
