Do you have any idea how much RAM costs and how much I should get? I have nooooooooo idea.

It's not too expensive, I think it's one of the cheaper computer addons.

At least get another 256 stick and you'll be good for awhile. RAM is one of the easier things to install. Just open up the computer, pop in the stick, and voila. There may be some hardware installaion, but that's just a bunch of clicking.

I bought the fancier hosting and domain name last month. I've had the actual forums (on a different server and forum) for about 6 months.

good job...hey i downloaded soulseek and everything..and downloaded and hand ful of dead kennedy songs..but when i got to transfer they all say remotely queued..what does that mean..and also when the song is finished downloading were does it go and were do i go to listen to it?

I'm gonna have to hit up Best Buy tomorrow then. And I need to return some mini iPod crap my dad got me that seems pretty pointless. Like...a remote. WTF would I need that for? The iPod is small enough to be a remote anyway. And a dock. I don't get its purpose.

Remotely Queued
Queue = a line
Remote = other side
So it means you are in the other person's line waiting for that file.

In file sharing, the folder you picked to save to, is where the music will go. You can play the music with the media player of your choice (winamp, itunes, musicmatch)

That's a good idea, just look around. Maybe ask the people that work there. I just looked up some ram on outpost, Fry's online site. It was $35 for a 256 stick. I'm probably going to buy that next time I'm at Fry's

EDIT: Post 5800!

was the remote smaller than the ipod?

ok...so.. will eventlly those remote queued things donwload..and to play the music i have to download somthing else?

You probably have a player on your computer

RealPlayer
Windows Media
Musicamatch

Something...


And yeah, you'll get those songs some time.

[QUOTE=combatrock*bass]ok...so.. will eventlly those remote queued things donwload..and to play the music i have to download somthing else?[/QUOTE]

Yeah once you move up in the queue, they will start. If you right click the file and click "Get place in line" it will show what place in line you are. When you are searching, look for files that are black and bolded, those have no queue. Grey ones have a queue. Red ones are users that signed off since you did the search.

I'm guessing you've only used P2Ps like Kazaa and Ares which have a built in media player. So, yes you should download something else. Although if you just double click the files when you find them in the folder they save to, your computer will open them in Windows Media Player, or whatever media player is your computers default. I however recommend downloading winamp from [url]http://www.winamp.com[/url] to play music, it is the greatest one out there

[QUOTE=POINTLESS5448]was the remote smaller than the ipod?[/QUOTE]
Yep. But still, stupid.

I think Musicmatch uses a lot of RAM, a lot of players with big interfaces like that, use lots of RAM. That may be your slowing down problem, Shannon.

k i got music match and windows both so i will use one of those...thanks for the help..
though i will probley have more questions comming lol



edit: yes already another question..i found my place in line and it was around 660..does that mean 660 people are downloading that song? if so how long will that take?

I'm willing to answer. I like answering people's computer questions when I'm bored.

That means there is 660 people in front of you in the line, so it may take awhile to start. It's DK, so try searching again for a lower queue, or no queue. Also if you give me your username on there I can add you and you can browse my files.

Really...so what would be a better player?

[QUOTE=IFlogMyMolly16]Really...so what would be a better player?[/QUOTE]

Winamp doesn't use much ram, unless you are running the media library, which isn't necessary. Or if you are using the modern skin.

I don't understand why Musicmatch is so much though. I don't even know what an interface is. :(

[QUOTE=IFlogMyMolly16]I don't understand why Musicmatch is so much though. I don't even know what an interface is. :([/QUOTE]

Interface = place where you push buttons.

Whenever I've used Musicmatch it had a big window. And had a lot of fancy doodads that take up RAM.

Musicmatch is pretty tiny actually. And I always thought it was pretty simple. Like, there's no stupid webpage thing like on Windows Media. Hmm

I dont know, I just didn't use it much. I'm a Winamp loyalist, so everything is inferior compared to it, which isn't stretching the truth much.

I added you. Can't help you with all the other stuff. Seems like a Windoze going psycho thing.

I use Musicmatch sometimes, but prefer WMP.

If you add my name to your list you can browse me and take my files.

Username is NICKJOE

To add a user to your userlist, right click the thing on the right that has the headers user, and click "Add to list" and type my name in there, case sensative.

guys, windows media player is where its at!

I hate Windows Media!!

I don't like any program made by micros'hit, bad enough i have to use their OS. I have never seen any advantage to running Windoze Media Player, it just sucks.

Guess what. I cleaned the coffee pots at work wrong and if they didn't notice, I could've killed the next person who drank from them. Because I didn't brew them twice to get all the chlorine tabs out. I'm hilarious.
