all the songs i get are skipping

There's nothing like music that skips & hops along eh! Great stuff. Get in the groove!

LW's media player is not the best, & lw utilises most of it's energy toward searching & dwnlding & uplding, & the media player comes a lucky last I think.
Best to do is use your usual mp3 player. To change it to your default mp3 player go to LW's menu Tools>Options>Player & untick the option box. Press Apply & your defualt mp3 player will launch with every song you launch. If you don't have a decent player there's: QCD (a free player with inbuilt codecs & plays all types of mp3); Quote- "I downloaded the Quintessential Player (awesome program by the way, and free), which also has the capability to annotate MP3 files. Noticing that it could play the files where WMP couldn't, I annotated them again using Quintessential. Voila! Suddenly WMP could play them again."
