Protected Downloads
 

Hi Folks,

I'm a musician who uses Limewire to download material to learn and perform with the band, so via playlists and PRS the appropriate parties get their royalties etc. My question is................When I download some tracks they are "protected" and won't play! Do I just keep downloading in the hope that one will be "unprotected", or is there a way of filtering out protected files??

yours in anticipation...........:blink:

Try " previewing " the file first . If you hear sound , chances are you got what you wanted . Also , it saves time:laugh_2:.

Thanks for that Siberia,

So........can I preview the files without having to download them first??

Also......what is the point of having protected files available if they can't be used???
Sorry if I sound a bit wet, but I'm quite new to all of this!

You have to start to download the song first , after a bit of it is done , click " preview " . About the protected songs , it most likely wasnt the artist who put the song there . Probably someone who thought they were doing others a favor by putting it there , when in turn , it disappoints us .

Thanks again Siberia,

Happy downloading!:xeri_ok1ani:
