Thanks Hobo!
I've now got all of my songs going into a limewire playlist in itunes and so now I won't ever delete my library again (yes unfortunately I DID!!!)
Live and learn I guess.
I have Windows, and what I mean by sorting is that--when the library is automatically sorting, the songs go into the library in alphabetical order which means that they integrate with the songs already there. At one time they went into the library at the bottom of the entire list so I knew exactly which ones I had just downloaded (so I could put them into iTunes and THEN playlist them.
Again thanks for all your input--I am inexperienced and your help is MUCH appreciated.
Sorry for calling you a girl
