Interesting thread, at least this seems to be something that needs work by the developers. In the meantime I have found out that some downloaded files just won't open , adding to the initial confusion, although most do.I've just been going into the Shared folder in the Limewire folder and doubleclicking on the files which then brings up my familiar alternate program window offering Quicktime(Movieplayer) or Soundjam. Selecting Soundjam opens the file and plays it as usual. I keep everything filed and sorted there anyway. I assume this might work for people with iTunes. Anyway, I can live without the instant launch for now since file availabilty and speed is much better than Mactella.(in all fairness though, Mactella was a friend indeed the weeks after Napster went down).
Thanks for the input.



Discovered in the course of the above:
Anyone out there know why all No Doubt-Rock Steady files have an incomplete demo loop of "Don't Let Me Down" or just won't open? Some kind of record company Big Brother control thing a la Napster?
