Playing while downloading

I was wondering if you guys could add a feature so you can play the song while your still downloading it.

I know this might not work because it downloads many little files then turns it into the big file after words. But I was just wondering if it could be done.

It would use a lot of processor resources doing so but I imagine it could be done. The problem with this is internal players in clients usually have a habit of bugging out and use more memory.

Bingo , Previewing has not been added to XoloX yet because of that reason. The system used by XoloX for partial files makes previewing a file rather difficult ( yes i know KaZaa and other clients do it) , but be assured it is one of the major things being worked on for future versions.
