When I open it, it asks what I used to download it.

So I choose BitTorrent.

And then it says it's unable to play.

once you have downloaded the file you play it in any media player, not in bittorrent. bittorrent si what you use to download it (uTorrent is better)

Back to basics:

Download a client which will download all the files you need. Bittorrent, BitComet, uTorrent etc, any of those of the other hundreds out there.

Go to a site such as this Torrent Search - ScrapeTorrent.com where you can do a search for what you are after. You need to be looking for files that have a higher number of seeders, and ideally not as many leachers.

Click on the link to whichever one you choose.

This will open up the web page of the site that hosts the link. here you can check that the album/song is going to be in mp3 or FLAC etc or if it is a rar. file.

Click on 'download torrent' or the title of the album/song whatever, which will download a link.

You then open this downloaded link with your bittorrent client and it starts downloading.

Once the file is downloaded you can then open up the file with the media player of your choice, unless you downloaded a rar. file, in which case you'll need to unzip it first

Okay. Let me try this.

It plays one album I downloaded.

It just seems to hate Nine Inch Nails.

But what kind of file is the album and what are you trying to play it in?

It was Flac.

And I was trying to play it on iTunes.

But I deleted it and downloaded a different file type. Same album.

I doubt iTunes supports FLAC.

You'd have to download a different version or use something else to convert it.
