Thanks, gluteus maximus, you saved my butt. (Pun intended.)
Update/good news: I have Skyshare Manager unzipped and working, and have downloaded four songs now. There are a few minor bugs I've found (at least under Win98SE):
1) "Prelisten" in Skyshare Manager doesn't work. Well, it _almost_ works -- bytes are flying through my modem and into my computer, but nothing is coming through my headphone jack.
2) As a result of Skyshare Manager's Prelisten not working: since I want to listen to songs before I buy them, I need to have _both_ Skyshare Manager running, _and_ an
MP3Skyline page up in Internet Explorer. I hear a song by clicking a "Listen" box on the web page.
3) When I click on a "Download now" icon on an
MP3Skyline web page, that information doesn't get passed to Skyshare Manager (if I already have Skyshare Manager up and running). Instead, the web page gives me a message, "You must use Skyshare Manager to download music," and then I must search for that song or album a second time, from within Skyshare Manager. It means I have to do extra steps and double-check stuff.
