How do I preview a media file?
I don't recommend you use Kazaa to preview a media file. If it works for you, that's great, but there are a lot of people who have problems with it.
To preview a file, wait until you have downloaded at least 500 KB of the file (for big files, such as movies of couple of Megabyte is better). Then pause the download.
Option 1:
Copy the file to another directory. (Like My Documents) Then change the extension to the correct one (.mp3 .avi .mpg etc.). Then play it in Windows Media Player (or another player). For some movie files this will not work. If so, try option 2.
Option 2:
Open your partial downloaded movie with VideoLAN or AVI Preview. You don't even need to copy or rename it. Just open the .dat file.

Why can?t I preview a certain media file?
There are two main reasons for this:
- Some media files cannot be previewed because of their nature. MP3 and MPEG should play, AVI does not always work. See the topic above for some players that can play incomplete AVI files.
- The file is in use. Watching or playing the file while it downloads isn't possible. If you tried playing it in the Kazaa theatre before you tried another videoplayer, it might also be in use. Close Kazaa and try ag
