so, all the mps i try to get from this site or from the other site don't work. like, i play them and they play for a few seconds, then stop for a while then start again then stop again . . . you get it.
im listening to them pauses and all bc i love the features so much, but is there any way to fix this problem? like is there another player to download or somehitng? keep in mind that i am an idiot and i will need instructions as though i am a five yr old. laugh.gif ph34r.gif
thank you for being a friend.

I suggest Winamp for playing mp3's.. I assume you already have it, but you never know.

Does this happen to you on other sites?

When you download the mp3 does it take a matter of a few seconds (like, 1 or 2 seconds) or does it take a few seconds as if it's actually downloading a few megs?

Troubleshooting can be a bitch.

it doesn't play througn winamp, it just plays directly through the site.
i don't know that ive ever tried liostengin to mp3s on any other site except for kazaa.

it takes a while like its downloading then plays what it downloaded. then downloads some more. then plays some more. but when the song is over, if i try to play it again, the same thing happens.

i know its not the website bc it works fine on other people's computers.

It sounds like some other player is loading the mp3 file into cache and you probably don't have a fast enough connection so it's skipping. You should try right clicking on the link and SAVE TARGET AS to your hard drive. Then you should be able to load them into Winamp and play.

If that doesn't work, use Tom Foolery's advice for fixing anything:

Pour water on it.

Poor water on it.
Pouring water on it might be even more fun. wink.gif
