I bought a song on BearShare. When I tried to play the song, it says “Loading License” and the song won’t play.
I bought and downloaded another song. That song has downloaded 100% and then it says “Finalizing.” I left my computer on all night so it can finalize. It still says finalizing and I can’t play it.
I have done all the solutions recommended by tech support: I have checked Windows Media Player 10 and there is no update needed. I have downloaded & installed the latest version of BearShare. I have signed out, signed back in, deleted the song, and re-downloaded it. I have done this over and over again. Still no play, and still no license.
I have been to Live Support over and over again. No one can help me.
I have tried downloading the song with my Windows Firewall turned off. That didn’t help.
I tried to buy music on BearShare. When I tried to click the PayPal button to arrange to pay for music through PayPal, I kept getting a message saying, “Sorry, unable to connect to PayPal.” When I spoke to Live Support, they told me to use the BearShare payment method instead. I declined. Several weeks later, I tried to buy another song. Still no PayPal access. This time, I broke down to Live Support’s advice and gave BearShare my credit card info. They have taken money in payment for music that I am unable to play, and they can’t give me a solution. Why do they offer a PayPal button if they are unable to process through PayPal?
Hours of wasted time and frustration. I am very suspicious of a site that has a PayPal button and insists that you give them your credit card information instead. I am very suspicious of a site that takes my money but fails to deliver music I can play, and can’t give me a remedy to make it workable.

I am having the same problem. I had this problem a couple of months ago and ended up performing a system restore to a point when I new Bearshare worked and that fixed the problem. I have the problem again and don’t want to go through the hassle of restoring. I would like Bearshare to tell me how to fix this.
