invocati	Date: March 13, 2003 @ 8:27 PM Why do I get a page that says don't be a freeloader every time I try to download a song?? I thought downloads are still free???
milladrive	Date: March 13, 2003 @ 8:30 PM Why do I get the feeling you're using AOL. This is a problem we seem to encounter only with AOL browsers.
invocati	Date: March 13, 2003 @ 8:38 PM Yes I use AOL. I would change but I share this computer and the actual owner don't want me to download another browser...Oh well.
jmweirick	Date: March 17, 2003 @ 4:09 PM this happens when your browser of security program hides your browsing habits from the web site, you see this because dmusic thinks you linked to the site from another site. AFAIK that this is not just AOL, because i use it and don't get the problem after tuning of my NIS privacy control, check your firewall or other security program to try to fix it.
milladrive	Date: March 17, 2003 @ 4:26 PM Ahh, very good. Thanx for that info, jm. Much obliged.
jmweirick	Date: March 17, 2003 @ 4:42 PM np
Jennae	Date: March 17, 2003 @ 6:14 PM I STILLLLLL have this problem
Expose	Date: March 17, 2003 @ 6:19 PM Just use an outside browser, like IE or Opera or Mozilla or Phoenix, you don't need to use AOL's. " id="37149">That happened if I put a setting on in sygate firewall "enable stealth mode browsing", AOL does this automatically.

invocati	Date: March 17, 2003 @ 8:04 PM I downloaded the mozilla browser but it don't seem to be working other than uploading.
jmweirick	Date: March 17, 2003 @ 8:08 PM will one of the administrators please remove this from the web site. it would make things alot easier.
invocati	Date: March 17, 2003 @ 8:12 PM help.Isn't that what this forum thread is titled:help" id="37183">How rude jmweirick ...I could use some help.Isn't that what this forum thread is titled:help
invocati	Date: March 17, 2003 @ 8:24 PM I turned off my Norton Security ... Now everything works!!!
jmweirick	Date: March 17, 2003 @ 8:25 PM not the thread the feature that causes the problem, it's an anti-freeloder feature of the site.
jmweirick	Date: March 17, 2003 @ 8:27 PM you don't have to turn off the entire thing, just go to privacy control...click custom level...uncheck "Enable Browser Privacy" leave the rest enabled.
invocati	Date: March 17, 2003 @ 8:29 PM O.K. jmweirick ..Sorry about the misunderstanding
jmweirick	Date: March 17, 2003 @ 8:30 PM no problem.

Veracohr	Date: March 23, 2003 @ 3:55 AM I hate to add on to this, but I can't download either. On Mozilla or IE. I have no firewall or other security program, and I found nothing in the Preferences of either browser that was labeled something similar to "Enable Browser Privacy". Have any idea?
Veracohr	Date: March 23, 2003 @ 7:45 PM Clarification: I can download on IE and Mozilla at work (Windows XP) but not on either at home (Mac OS 9.22)
Expose	Date: March 23, 2003 @ 7:49 PM Are you sure you have no firewall or any of that? 1) If you don't have one, you should get one . 2) There must be a setting loose somewhere.
vonsmear	Date: March 23, 2003 @ 10:08 PM microsoft.com or versiontracker.com" id="38210">There is Internet Explorer for OS9. I'm also 99.9% sure it comes pre-installed on 0S9. Check the aplications folder. If not, just download it from microsoft.com or versiontracker.com
vonsmear	Date: March 23, 2003 @ 10:09 PM Oh... I misunderstood what you were saying. Sorry
Jennae	Date: March 23, 2003 @ 10:25 PM left click on download doesn't work for me either Just streams the song
Seez	Date: March 23, 2003 @ 10:45 PM So Basically Its Juss Firewalls/Privacy Controls? Lemme Arange Some Ish..
jmweirick	Date: March 24, 2003 @ 9:25 PM try this jen, in 8.0 (and i think it will work in 7.0) go to settings - preferences - multimedia - uncheck "Use the AOL media player for supported types." try again. more problems occur because of this try the AOL live help.
jmweirick	Date: March 24, 2003 @ 9:26 PM oh, and you may now need somthing like winamp to stream after disabling the player.
Expose	Date: March 24, 2003 @ 9:32 PM http://foobar2000.hydrogenaudio.org/foobar.exe Set file associations on install. And jennae, if you're interested in downloading, you'll have to change web browsers. Even IE, will sometimes just play downloads. Play around, and if you can't find anything good for you that works, I'll try to help. :nod:" id="38364">Well, for streams, and pretty much anything, foobar2000 covers it as a SIMPLE player. http://foobar2000.hydrogenaudio.org/foobar.exe Set file associations on install.

Jennae	Date: March 24, 2003 @ 9:45 PM thanks Jm but nope first of all it's 7.0 and it's start control panel?? and I couldn't even find the damn AOL media player for supported types im about to start another movement called HELP JEN DOWNLOAD HJD MOVEMENT! who knows maybe it'ss get farther than verdana did
jmweirick	Date: March 24, 2003 @ 9:50 PM i meant in the AOL aplication, not from the start menu. the settings option should be along the top along with mail, people, and whatever else.
Jennae	Date: March 24, 2003 @ 9:57 PM my new computer is broke and so I am guesting on this one and I can't get to preferences I HATE COMPUTERS!!!!!! non of my frikken pooters work for she-it! screw it I give! i'll just surf endlessly for music that I'll have to store on a playlist for the rest of my life. dm is doing this to me on purpose so I have to come back everyday I bet
Jennae	Date: March 24, 2003 @ 9:58 PM HJDM!!!!!
Expose	Date: March 24, 2003 @ 10:05 PM click me and download this! I'll tell you what to do by tomorrow, time for sleep now :D. It's a web browser like IE or AOL, but lets you download. Way better. It can block pop-ups too, and I can tell you how to get DM to work Verdana on it too. I tweaked all the settings... And Jennae, if your computer is really screwed up, and since I'm in a hurry, can a kind soul:D please give links to these programs for you; RegScrubXPD SpyBot They should fix it right up. But before any of that, keep your computer as it is, start doing a defrag(start programs accessories system tools defragmentor), and step away from the computer:D. Let it do it's work, and when it's done, come back. Use those two other programs. Then afterwards, download and install mozilla. You should be able to download with mozilla, and you should have a better working computer after that stuff. All free. Good luck ;) :hug:" id="38374">Jennae, I see you're desperate, which means I can start my rant now Yes, I know this is big for a 56k user, but, click me and download this!

ashleighj	Date: March 27, 2003 @ 1:26 AM specificly, it's the "referrer logging" feature that needs to be enabled in your browser. (it's usually on by default, but not always.) that's a feature a website can use to see what the previous page you were looking at was. dmusic just wants to make sure you're looking at a dmusic page when you click "download", i assume so they get the advertising views to pay for the bandwidth. hope that's a little helpful to someone. -aj

lilnemo28	Date: April 30, 2003 @ 8:01 AM http://www.opera.com " id="43796">Instead of Mozilla which is said to carry spyware. I recomend Opera. Very fast Browser. just go to http://www.opera.com
thumbtack	Date: April 30, 2003 @ 8:58 AM StreetsDisciple, On the home page, click on link on the left that says Get Your Music HEard Join Today. And follow the instructions...
Svensta	Date: April 30, 2003 @ 9:54 AM at Lilnemo. And yes, everyone really should learn how to scrub their registries and do so fairly regularly.
Expose	Date: April 30, 2003 @ 3:16 PM ilnemo28; YOU A FUCKIN LIAR!!! 1) It's open source, WHY THE HELL WOULD IT HAVE SPYWARE??? 2) Install it, and run spybot and ad aware. Except for the browser cache, tell me if one damn think shows up. the person who started that probably saw mozilla purging the browser cache in spybot and went nuts The only one who "said" it carries spyware is you

TameasDust	Date: August 9, 2003 @ 10:33 AM Norton makes a firewall??? hope it aint as crappy as the norton pro 2003 antivirus i deleted. i run xp ie avg antivirus and zonealarm for a fire wall and dont have any problems.
