Talking Previewing

Hi guys

Very new to Limewire so I guess this may sound a bit stupid but is there a way that we can listen to music we want to download first prior to downloading it???? I notice that you can preview it whilst it is being downloaded or after but I am not very good at remembering song names and wouldn't really be keen to download a whole heap of stuff I don't know. It would be useful if I could have a little listen first to check if the song is what I think it is.

Any suggestions?

Sorry, you just can't do it
Previewing is the only way to check out your download.

Just remember to always scan a file with your AV program before you open it

Well, how're you gonna listen to something if you've got no memory of it? Also, if we could preview the whole thing without downloading, we could preview movies illegaly and watch them instead of downloading and getting in trouble.

If its an mp3, you can use the preview function to start listening almost straight away, then can it if it is not the song you want.

Thanks guys I appreciate your help.

Just to confirm it isn't the tune I don't have memory of it is just I don't always know what the song is called or who it is by. I am sure I am not the only one that has that problem ... Wasn't talking about movies either. Just trying not to waste too much time (or downloads) downloading stuff I don't want.
