Unable to preview or listen to new downloads. Limewire was working perfectly a while back in December, but I did a software restore and it hasn't been the same since... I can't listen to any new downloads, and Quicktime has been giving me a really hard time. I'll click on 'Launch', and nothing happens. I don't know if I'm being too vague, but if someone can help me out with what information given, that would be great. I don't know much about computers, so please be detailed! Thanks -- Destiny |

Similar but slightly different problem I'm running LW Pro 3.8.7 and downloading what are identified as mpe files for playback with iTunes 2.04 (Mac OS9.2.2) - I've recently downloaded two large over 100MB files that won't play on itunes, quicktime, or even an old v 2.1 version of soundjamMP. When I try to add either file to the library (itunes) or playlist (soundjam) - nothing happens. When I double click on the file icon (which says MP3) it will open either itunes or soundjam but won't show or play the file. When I click on "get info" for the files, one says itunes document, the other says soundjam document, yet nothing I do can get these files to play. I know it's not the size - I've successfully downloaded and put in the library and played files twice this size and larger. Do I just have bum downloads (they're really sweet files or am I doing something wrong or not doing something I should be doing? HELP Touchofgrey55 |

100Mb ? Wow, I've never heard of any mp3s THAT big! Anyway, did you leave enough time for your iTunes to import the file? Maybe you too have to wait a bit. Also, I'm an OSX user and relatively new (compared to others in here...) so I can't really tell you what to do, sorry (I'll try and help as much as I can though)

File size I've successfully downloaded mp3 file even larger - on is 202MB, others in the 150MB range, obviously complete CDs, 2 CD sets, or live concerts. The file I can't get to work is a series of small club shows by the greatest rock and roll band in the world - nuff said. I would upgrade to OSX but with a 600 MHz G3 IMac, I think it 'll slow thing down too much even though my machine "qualifies" for the upgrade. Just have to wait to get a new machine someday.
