thats the problem. there are too damn many threads to read through each one to see if it has the answer i'm looking for. sorry if i made another one. i searched for a thread before posting in this one. i just don't have the time to read through that many threads to find one. all of them i read seemed to address how to get files from limewire to iTunes and/or iPod. I wanted to get them from iTunes to being shared on Limewire. As far as I can find this is the only postr addressing this question. Maybe you should repost this as a sticky and title it peoperly for me since I don't have moderator controls.
