problem with default mp3 player
 

I am new to limewire only downloaded today, but when I downloaded an mp3, I can not get my default mp3 player (itunes) to play it, Niether wil it import to the library. What can I do?

One thing i've found is that itunes won't play real player files unless they have .mp3 on the end of them - eg '**EDIT** - **EDIT**.mp3'. so if you are altering the file name by removing the .mp3 tag, they can't be moved into the itunes window. hope this gives you some ideas.

Just as an FYI.... Real Player files usually end in .RA or .RM and there is one other extension that I cannot recall at the moment. An MP3 file is actully NOT a Real format file... although Real player can produce this type of file along with a host of other programs. MP3 actually stands for MPEG layer 3 (Layer 3 is the Audio component) which is a format independant of any 'brand name' software product. :)

Download and setup Winamp as your default mp3 player. RealPlayer is a major pain in the *** and the Limewire player just isn't any good. (www.winamp.com). It's free and they don't hound you to death like Real does.
