frankr is flying high
Default tried 25 different files of this one mp3 and they all say need more sources. why??

i bought the barry manilow hits from the 50s cd off ebay and Unchained Melody is not working. limewire found tons and tons of files of this song and i tried to download at lest 25 different files of it and every one says Need More Sources. thats not normal is it? i have a bunch of cassette albums from the 80s that i wanted mp3 format for so i downloaded some from limewire and these all worked okay. just this barry manilow song is not working even after trying over 25 different files of it. can someone explain how to solve this problem? thanks.

Hi you are really not supposed to put details like this in the forumss ... but I have to agree with you after a quick check.

I suggest you wait until you can find one not printed in Capitals and which shows uo in the artist, album , and title columns in the search window. It could be that these are fake entries which seem to be on the network in an attempt to mess up searching ability.

good luck...

hi ... well it's in the forum rules that posts are not allowed requesting copyright material. It was more for future reference than anything else, and without the imformation I couldn't have done the check myself. The rules are at the top of each forum btw. I hope my reply helped .. keep trying and you'll find it .. may take a day or two

okay i got it. i just found out i got ripped off on a scam. i checked online and found the album is not even released yet! so the one off ebay was a fake. thought the cd looked wierd but i figured it was cuz it was used. i dont know how many songs might be missing from the fake copy so ill just get the real album when it comes out. have a nice day hobo.

well I never thought of that explanation lol

I bought a copy cd on e-bay recently. It was cheap and I knew what I was getting after reading the feedback, although many would not have done this.... but it works ok

but ......... some ebay sellers are... a little economical with the truth, to say the least ...

You have a nice day too
