Never ever happened before but is happening to all tracks downloaded by a
particular artist. All other tracks are downloading and playing as normal,
but tracks by this band are all downloading but when played, do not have
sound. Tred playing the MP3s in both windows media player & Music Match,
tried downloading other songs which play just fine, tried restarting the PC
etc etc but still the same problem. Aso tried downloading with both WinMX &
Kazaa lite - same problem. Has this happened to anyone else before???

Yep had a number like that although i dont download that many tunes . Some
songs that are 5 mins long come up as 11mins long and are just blank.I was
thinking maybe these tracks have been coded somehow so they will only play
on a cd but someones uploaded them anyway . I noticed though it seems to
only happen to big names in the industry so think it must be something to do
with security.

I really hate people who post OT comments such as these.

However, why don't you post the addresses of the better MP3 sites so
that people can help you?
