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.

Bearshare used to be a pretty good site with no problems. I used paypal to pay the monthly subscription. Yeah, some you have to pay extra for.. But still the majority of song were included with the subscription. Just about a month ago every song I downloaded required a license. The license wouldn't download so I couldn't play the song. I looked up on Bearshare the remedy and followed the instructions with media player and service packs. I even reinstalled bearshare. Nothing is working. I will be canceling my service with bearshare. People - don't bother with bearshare, they are going downhill and you pay for a service you aren't getting anymore. I rate bearshare pretty low now and will go with another pay service.

im so glad i read the reviews before i reinstalled bearshare. i thought it was just, my luck getting screwed by them, but now i see we all are. those other reviews, that were good, sounded so made up too! they have been charging me for the past three months now, with no music! why havent i cancelled you ask, because trying to speak to anyone by phone is impossible. so one day when its my lucky day, somebody in bearshare land, will answer the blasted phone and ill be able get my money back! i have been so frustrated and angry with bearshare, its an absolute scam and a fraud! i will tell everyone i know about how much you guys suck!
