WTF???

runnin' XP

clear your cache and reload! you also might try relaunching the browser too.

Check you prefs. there might be a feature that says loop animations once and stop, or something like that.

if you're using IE, go to prefs/web content/allow looping

Right click for properties, then select the Summary tab, then Advanced instead of Simple.
Down at the bottom, the bit rate is listed.

Must be a different animal, mine doesn't show Summery but Properties and there is no Advanced setting there unfortunately, ( just file size not bitrates ) but thanx for reciprocating.

sorry. it's not your fault or your computer's. Artists ususally offer sample mp3s of low quality because they want you to buy the CD. That is most likely the problem.

Thanx! Makes sense.

Thanx JrzyTmata, the info, as you suggested by right clicking file, doesn't go quite that far so will persevere, it's fun and new and interesting. When I eventually upgrade, things will be easier no doubt but less challenging? Thanx again,

you can find out by right clicking on the song file and viewing properties. I think. I'm a mac person, but I am guessing that properties should have this info.

if the bitrate is below 192 mp3, RP won't accept it and there's really nothing you can do to fix it. You can't resample to a higher bitrate.

At that point the only other thing you can do is to buy the CD and rip the proper mp3, or put a call out to anyone that might have the CD and would they be so kind as to upload it to RP.

I don't know how to answer this other than the format offered by the artist on website simply states MP3 Download?

I don't know how to answer this other than the format offered by the artist on website simply states MP3 Download? Oh, and I'm using Winamp as my Proxied Music Player?

I have only just, after 6 months on RP, tried to upload to LRC; my first attempt worked ok but every one since,( apart from the second attempt which got sorried, fair enough, ) has, after 10 minutes, came back with the message that I'm uploading at less than 192 bitrate but prefer 256? Try Again.
Question: Seing as I do not have a disc player on my computer ( broken ) and therefore simply download songs I like ( legal ) from Artists Websites and then upload them to LRC, what do you think the problem is?

what's the bitrate and format of the songs you're downloading?
it sounds like they aren't high enough for RP's requirements.
