Oh my...ok, you don't "play" torrents. Bit torrent is a method of file transfer, whereby the torrent is the file. You need specific software to download torrents...a google search will get you there. (Aezerus seems to be popular around here, although I use Torrent Storm). Once you have the downloaded torrent, it will be a file of some sort...could be audio, video or other. If it's audio, you'll need whatever particular software decompressor to get the file to WAV format that can be played or burned to cd.dave_s8 wrote:How do you play torrents??
Typical audio file formats:
FLAC
SHN
Keep in mind there are plugins that you can download that will allow you to play these compressed file formats on Winamp, assuming you use Winamp as your media player.
