I'm not talking about playing them on a player. I'm just trying to load them into toast on my computer so that I can see if they are legitimate mp3's. I'm using 9.6 as I've been using it for years and I'm familiar with it. If that's the problem, then I'll have to try and download limewire to OS10 and give it a go. I don't use an mp3 player. I just write CD's for my portable CD player. Until a month ago, every mp3 I downloaded from Limewire was playable. Now two out of three won't play in toast. I pick mp3's from the lists and choose high potential for my download and watch to see if it downloads. Then when it appears on my hard drive I often can't open it in Toast. I don't know what you mean about icons. Thanks for the response.
