how to hear mp3 while downloading?

#1 (**permalink**) June 13th, 2001

While downloading an mp3 file I can't hear the song like with
"Napster" .It always trys to open it with the "real-audio-player"
and aparently this program can`t open unfinished downloads.
Any solutions ? - Thanks

The Easy answer is use Winamp. Winamp can play mp3s while you are still downloading that mp3.

I use WinAmp too and "OPEN" the mp3 after enough of it has downloaded that I can listen to part of it. That way if it's not the song or version I wanted I can cancel it and not waste any more time or bandwidth.

Try dragging the mp3 file on to your mp3 player instead of double clicking it.
