files do not play

Hello,

I download music files, but they do not play. Out of 7-8 only one plays. All have completed downloading. I tried Frostwire and Cabos too to no avail.

Please help.

It's my guess they are spam or else you do not have the correct audio codecs to play the files.

Check this advice: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...wire-spam.html & make a note of typical audio spam sizes. Also about the audio bit rates compared to file size: mp3 Bit-Rates Versus File Sizes (click on link)

You could try a different player to play those files.
