The relationship b/w LW & iTunes on a mac compared to windows is different. There is no auto-importing like on a mac. All you get is a LW playlist which is simply a reference to the songs in the LW downld folder (generally called Shared by default.)

So you must use other techniques to actually import the songs into iTunes without it simply being a reference; ie: to physically import the songs into the iTunes Music Library folders.

As you're aware, the easiest is Add. On windows that's Control-O. You can select multiple files at once by holding down the SHIFT key after selecting the 1st one. Coincidentally I'm putting a GiF together about this to add to the above link but haven't quite finished yet. (I need to get rid of the copyright references for show & tell, lol.) But all the same, the windows iTunes tutorial will show this anyway. The above link gives you multiple options.

As far as having the limewire playlist show in iTunes, you need to go to LW's menu Tools>Options>iTunes>Sharing

(Asking for money back? If you're a pro user you get pro mac & windows. lol)
