Unhappy How to preview music

Hello,
I just installed Limewire but can't figure out how to listen to the music before I decide to download. Please forgive my ignorance but can anyone help me?

Highlight the song & click on Preview. If you get an error from your player, saying that your player can't play that sort of file, you might need extra codecs. Here's a link to lots of different codec packs, just in case (the VLC player is great for playing all sorts of video files)

I discovered that but it seems I can only preview it after I begin the download. If I try to do it from the list of songs that come up the preview button is greyed out. Is that the way it works or am I doing something wrong?
And thank you for that link of codes.

That's right, you can only preview while you're downloading! You're not doing anything wrong Wait until there's 15 or 20% downloaded & then preview. If the song sounds crappy or is just wrong, kill the download!
