Sorry but I haven't found my way round here yet, m,y apologies if I posted in the wrong place

What I was trying to say was I was searching the forum to find out if people were experiencing files that were allegedly MP3 files but just turned out to be blank with a noisy hiss when previewed

Thanks! That's much more clear. I haven't encountered that myself.

Does it happen a lot? Can you give some examples of what type of file you are downloading (no file names), i.e. how many hosts, what bitrate, connection type of host? Are the files you're attempting to download very new or popular?

Spam is getting more and more common on the network. With your input, we can all be better equipped to avoid it if possible! By the way, you can listen to music on your computer, right? Some songs do play?

Thanks

Yup sure I have tried the same track in 3 different formats MP3 wma M4a and 5 different bitrates for the MP3 all to no avail when I do get about 10% downloaded from an MP3 or wma file all I get is the hiss whils dowloading a different MP3 at the same time is fine

Tried previewing with the inbuilt player Jet Winamp & windows player all with the same resul M4a is a new one on me no preview at all

thx for your reply btw
