Songs are not actually stored in the Limewire Linrary. They are stored in your download folder or save folder as it is called. By default this folder is shared, meaning that song in it will be shared and will appear in the LW library in Black. If they are not shared they will sometimes appear in Red.
When you add a tune to the iTunes Library there is a setting in options ..in iTunes 6 it is in advanced, where you can, when adding to the iTunes librery also copy the tunes to yor iTunes folder. If use this option you will end up with 2 copies of each song.
Please ask if you need any more help  |
thank you... i found that setting it's on advanced>general tab and she does not have it checked (copy files to itunes).
yet her itunes library is like 7 gbs.
her limewire share folder (all files that show up in l/w library -she uses default folders limewire presents) which has all her downloaded files she hasn't deleted is 3gbs.
itunes has many duplicate files ie. all her limewire songs are in itunes and obviously 4 gbs of stuff she hads ripped etc. we do everything at 320 for her mp3's opting for quality.
one more question.
if my daughter whats to use itunes exclusively for her playing of files on computer, moving to ipod nano,etc would she also need to have that option checked "copy files to itunes"?
dragging the files from l/w to itunes library then is actually just giving itunes the path to file to play which is still in l/w and not actual file that is in itunes librbary (that can't be correct)? but when put in library and transferred to nano the actual file of course is transfered?
trying to stop the duplicate files and allow her to continue to use itunes (for playing,burning and transfering to nano).
how would you set it up? i consider myself computer literate (always used winmx but don't do much music anymore other than torrents and usually bootleg shows of bands that interest me) but my daughter is pretty basic when it comes to getting around her box... i just want to stop the duplicate files without effecting itunes.
again thanx for your help and quick response
much appreciated.
