Default Listening Before Downloading

Wendy

This question has been answered before in this forum because, simply put, you can't.

What you can do is download about 5% of an MP3 file and play that using the VLC media player, that will give you a good idea about what you are downloading.

You may ask, how come I can listen to You Tube and Amazon, the reason is that You Tube files are downloaded in the background by your browser and then played by your default media player. That file is then eventually deleted by your system so that you cannot find or re-use it.

Hope this helps.
