Dear Dan & All, I followed your instructions and it did the trick. Thank you
very much. I have been working on this for a couple of weeks. I had to find
the full path and type it in. I even downloaded a song. It came in however I
have not found out how to play it. This is very different from gnapster or
Limewire. How do you play the song? I have no idea where my song is to play.
Also, do I have to use that same command everytime I want to use Phex or is
there another command to start it?
May I make a desktop icon link to phex?
Thanks so much for your help. I am thrilled that I finally have a way to
download some music.
Sincerely, Marcia
