Use Winamp.

Personally, I never understood why P2P programs have built-in media players.

The built-in media player is there for you to make sure that you are dlding what you wanted (I'm sure you knew that). Of course, if the dld takes a few seconds to arrive, then from the time you double click on the dld to the time it actually plays, the dld would be finished, effectively rendering the media player useless...

Since I'm on dial-up, previewing a song or video just would not work for me. The buffering involved would be a nightmare.

It takes me an average of about 30 minutes to download a song, and since 3 to 5 hours to download a music video just doesn't work for me, I just buy it if it's on DVD. If fact, I just bought 50 metal videos...and it only took a few minutes.

Have you ever tried using the media player? There is no buffering involved. The media player only allows you to view/listen to as much of the file as you have dlded at the time you pressed Launch.
You can't preview something that you aren't dlding and you can't listen to a whole song if it hasn't finished dlding. In other words, it is not so much your connection speed that is concerned as much as your RAM: many seem to have to wait a little after launching a file before the file actually starts playing.
IMO, it is quite useful (unless, as I said, the speeds are too high) as it allows to check if the file you are dlding is indeed the one you want.
And 50 metal vids? Gosh. I mean I'm a metalero too but how much did it cost (unless they weren't original...).

As a side note, when clicking Launch, LW creates a "photo" of the file (stored in the Incompletes folder) from the time you clicked the button in order to play it.

That's why I choose to download it first, then listen to the whole thing.

$23.97 American @ Amazon Marketplace:

I may be breaking rule #2 here, but the videos I'm talkin' about are on the Monsters of Metal, Vol. 1 - The Ultimate Metal Compilation Double DVD.
