I wonder if anyone can help me figure out why I download, Say Mike Smith's mp3's or any other, and it shows "downloading", then "Done".
But I cant open it or play it.I have Winamp and Windows Media and I can play my other songs.I have XP....al

Al is this "ONLY" MP3's that you download from certain sites. Or ANY MP3, including ones you already have on the PC?

Jack and Lawrence, thanks for your response. Jack, It seems to be any clips I downlaoad lately, but I assume it is mosltyl MP3's.

Lawrence I installed Music match Jukebox and decided to be better off without it. It wants to take over any choice of other players.
Windows Meda Audio seems to do the same thing. I like Winamp best of all for playing downloaded songs. I see that AOL has taken over Winamp now ......al

What is the size of the files after they are downloaded? That would give an indication of whether the files actually downloaded. If the file size is zero or close to zero then you know it was not even downloaded. An MP3 is approximately 1 Mb per minute (e.g. a 3 minute song would be approx 3 Mb).

You can RIGHT click on one of the downloaded files, using the Windows Explorer and then LEFT click properties and it will show you the file size.
