Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed.

If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 mp3 files won't play in Quicktime Hello everybody, (Please excuse any errors as I'm pretty new to forums.) I'm running OS 8.6 on an imac and have been using Limewire with no problem. Suddenly Limewire started launching the mp3 files I've downloaded in RealPlayer format, as opposed to Quicktime previously (which, unlike RealPlayer, could be read by itunes when i transferred files to my laptop,) Then it gave me a load of "internal error" messages, so I got rid of my old Limewire and downloaded the latest Limewire for OS Classic but it still launches Real Player, or else downloads the mp3s as a "Limewire Document" which nothing will read at all - not even the Limewire launch button - and which can't be loaded into the file Exchange Control Panel as anything but Acrobat Reader (useless!). I have no "Player" menu in the tools/options menu (can't think why, it goes straight from Chat to Bug) so cannot change to another preferred mp3 player. I've searched the forum and tried applying some of the helpful tips (file exchange panel etc.) but it's still not working. Has anyone else encountered these (unreadable) "Limewire document" files? I really don't get why it suddenly changed. Can anyone advise? Is there something really obvious I've forgotten to do? It's driving me crazy! Thank you...!  |

 I'm not sure of this (I can't fire up an 8.6 just now), but if you go to the quicktime control panel, I think you can reset its prefs to make Quicktime the default for all media types. btw--if you drag the file from the download folder onto the quicktime player icon, that should override the setting for RealPlayer. I sure hated the way RealPlayer would mess up a system by resetting all the mappings. Grrrr. |

| Thanks fo the tip - I have tried changing the Quicktime MIME prefs, but RealPlayer still seems to override all. I have managed to recover some of the "Limewire document" files as Quicktime by shortening the titles and ensuring the full .mp3 extension is there though, wierdly, not all of them respond to that... Still nothing doing for getting rid of the RealPlayer files though.  Grrr indeed. |

| I'm surprised the File Exchange Control Panel didn't do the trick. The problem of LW documents has been around for some time. I have a suspicion it's a Java problem where it strips the files of their properties. I've discussed this a no. of times on the forum over the past few mths. The ultimate fail-safe technique is to use a file utility (I use Mac Army Knife) to change the file's attributes to what they should be. However this might be a bit technical for some people. MAK is easy to use however. Do a search on the forum for this app. Using the file Attribute Editor, once you've re-added the file properties such as type & creator, the appropriate icon returns & will open by that app. I'm not sure QT can play all types of mp3's anyway!! And there are many types. You might hate the suggestion but how about obtaining an mp3 player that can play all. I'd recommend Audion which can also play formats that iTunes can't even play such as OGG Vorbis. The newest version (v3) can also recognise the newest format of mp3 Pro. It's called os9 version but is compatible with os8.6. Whenever you open a file with Audion it changes the icon to that of its own so it'll always open it by default. (But I think you can change that in prefs.) You'd just drag & drop your mp3 (with its blank icon) onto audion. Last edited by Lord of the Rings; September 23rd, 2004 at 11:52 AM. |
