Thanks so much for your input, ONLY A HOBO, but I believe that the reason that I can't launch any songs to the ipod library is because the green music symbol that is to the left of the song title is not present, In all of the examples that you just gave me through the link, The green music symbol is there -- on my limewire, the symbol is a white box with a blue and red dot in it.
Limewire was working fine with the green music symbol but not at all with this file symbol. And it was working great up until yesterday when my son downloaded the new itunes version. Any suggestions as to what we can do -- I am getting so frustrated! Thanks again!!
