well it'll let me download the songs but it won't play them.
you just go to your library, highlight the song && click launch right?

Are you using the LW/FW player? Have you tried disabling the player & using another (if so, what other player(s) have you tried)? Have you been able to preview songs during download?

Are you getting any error message(s) when you try to play a song?

it won't let me preview the songs when they're downloading either.
it's like my speakers don't work or something
&& i know they do...

i haven't tried disabling the player or using something else.
i'm not getting error messages either. :[

ok well someone on the FW chatroom helped me with it.
i can play them on realplayer && windows media now :]
i still can't play them on the FW/LW player though if that's gonna be a problem....

To be honest, the LW/FW player is horrible so you're better off using another player anyway

But if you're desperate to use the built in player, try this: Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later (just substitute FW for LW here...I'm not going to edit the whole thing)

well if i don't need it. :]
i'm fine...
thanks bunchies.

i is good.
