How do I check the download progress or status?

To monitor your download progress in the Play MPE® Player, use the Download Manager section in the Player interface. Here’s how:

  1. Click the download button for the desired track. 

  2. Look for the download icon in the upper right corner of the player interface. It appears as a white download symbol. 

  3. When you click the Download Manager icon, a new page will pop up displaying the status of your downloads.


Here’s what the indicators mean:

  1. Zipping: The system is currently processing your request.
  2. Blue Circle Moving Clockwise: Your download is in progress.
  3. Blue Check Mark: The download has been completed successfully.
  4. Red Exclamation Inside a Red Circle: The download was unsuccessful. It may be due to not having enough hard drive space. Click this icon to restart the download. 

Additional Information

Since the player operates in a browser, all downloads will be saved to the default download folder set in your browser. Typically, this is your computer's Downloads folder.
