G'day from Oz.

I'll post an attached script as soon as I can write one.

I've posted this in several places, so yet again (thank god for stickies).....

The first thing I'd try is to open the files with FileBuddy, which is worth it's weight in gold.

The file type should show as .mp3, and set the file creator to 'TVOD'. Once you've done this, it will be added to FileBuddys pop-up choices.

If the file then plays via QuickTime, then something is possibly trying to automatically open the mp3's on download, and converting the creator to something QuickTimedoes not recognize. For example, it won't reconize a Media Player file (.asf).

.asf downloads show as blank icons, and need re-setting. They are '????' & '????' after downloading.

If they open ok after re-setting, try setting the QuickTime prefs to 'play internet tunes' and 'play automatically' (or something like that).

My monies on that the files won't play after re-setting. Stuff that stays as a LimeWire document often has something wrong with it.

Best of luck, & regards

Brian Christmas
