mp3 downloads

H-ELLO. never done this before, not sure how this works.. i'm desperate!

Q. audio downloads used to come up as a quicktime player document (with icon) and now they come up as document (no icon). i have no idea what i did.. ive tried everything i can think of.. its driving me mad.

i'm on a mac sys.soft. 9.2 i'm on limewire 3.58 pro and quicktime 6.
ANY HELP AND I SWEAR I'LL BE INDEBTED..

Try this. Go to the Apple menu and and come down to Control Panels then go to QuickTime Settings from the pull down menu in QuickTime Settings come down to "Browser Plug-in" Then click "MIME Settings" When it opens click "Use Defaults" Then click ok and quit QuickTime settings and download a song from LimeWire and it should work. I hope this helps.

i'm also getting these two files in my incomplete files.. downloads.dat/downloads.bak where i used to only get downloads.dat could that be it? not sure what that is..

You need to leave those two file where there are since they were made by LimeWire. Do you have any other MP3 Player installed other then QuickTime? Try the following. Search for "QuickTime Updater" and run it. You might have QuickTime installed but some of the files might not be there. You also could be downloading a different kind of audio file. Open LimeWire and search for "Beatles" and make sure you download an MP3 file.
