I know this has been dealt with before, but all the problems i've searched have usually ended the same way: Download the VLC media player. Well I tried that and it was worse. Not only did it play the files until the same 7% point (even though i've now downloaded 71%) but it froze afterwards. At least Windows Media Player didn't freeze. Also, it played some horrible screeching noise so loudly that I was temporarily deafened.

Ok, so i'm assuming that if I just let it download completely it will be fine, but I would like to know how to preview anyway to avoid future complications.

It only shows the first 3 minutes and 58 seconds despite the fact that it is 71% of a 699.7 MB file. I'm POSITIVE that's not right in terms of ratios.

Anyway, any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.
