Trying to Hear Mp3 Samples

Post by Dr. Hugh Jeffreys »

1. How does one (especially me!) attempt to hear someone's sample, and upon clicking the website, my pc goes defunct? 2. How does one play the sample without trying to drag the radio button to the right and then clicking for playback?? Thanks, Hugh

Hugh,

What website? Also, what media player are you using?

I have never enjoyed Real Player and have run into problems with playing CD's and .mp3's from the web. I have uninstalled it and I stricly use Windows Media Player or Music Match Jukebox. If the file is a .ra (real audio file) then I can't listen to it. Oh well, I can't stand the application so I guess I can't listen to those files.

Hugh,
Why not just use winamp. I've never had a problem with that program and I believe you can download it for free.
