MSN's media player

i think it sucks. i dont have broadband, so any mp3 i click on literally goes like this: four beats, 10 second pause, another 4 beats of song, another pause....and so on. AND, you cant backtrack in songs with out it re-loading the music up untill that point.

and i am stuck with it, cuz i dont know how to deactivate it so that i could use a different player to get mp3s

is there any way i could open mp3s with a different player? how about possibly speed up download speed?

try right clicking the file type and go to properties and under general tab, go to open with, change it to what you want and the make sure always open with this or some crap is selected.

you mean you're streaming the mp3?

Do yourself a favour and download winamp (www.winamp.com)

Make sure you download the old version (2.81) - best MP3 player, bar none..

yes i am streaming them...but i dont want to be. every time i click on the links people post, the little media player that is included with msn automaticly streams the mp3.

does anyone know how i can change some kinda setting so this wont happen?

yeah, right slick on the link, and click "save target as"

or, get a download manager, so you can resume downloads. www.getright.com or www.reget.com should do the job.....

I agree get Winamp (Not 3...)

DJ Freestyle: he just said he doesnt want to stream them...he wants to download them, getting winamp is useless.
