Hello!

First of all what do you mean by put the files into iTunes automatically when you download them?.

If you mean that you want your Shared Direcory for LimeWire to be the same as iTunes music Library Folder so that your iTunes library files files will be shared over Gnutella NET directly then the solution is simple.

In LimeWire go to:

Tools>Option>Saving and also Sharing

and click the add button and browse to iTunes Music Library folder found here:

Macintosh HD>Documents>iTunes>iTunes Music

Then select that iTunes Music Folder to be an additional Shared directory for your files to be shared over the network and click choose.

Then click Apply and then OK.

If however you mean that you want iTunes to directly play your mp3's when you have finished downloading them then you should just highlight the file in the download area and click the launch button in LimeWire and iTunes should start to play the file automatically and also it will then stay there in iTunes Library just as your music files in the iTunes Library Folder does.But the file itself is actually in LimeWires shared directory and not in the iTunes Music folder but that does not mather iTunes will play files from anywhere on your HD except from whitin the System Folder itself.

For some stupid reason when you install LimeWire it will by default select the Program Preference Folder inside the System Folder as the place for the Shared directory.If you have it there then you must select another shared directory because having the Shared Directory directly in the System Folder will eventually ruin it and cause severe fragmentation.The proper place to have the Shared Directory in Mac OS 9.1X is:

Macintosh HD>Applications(Mac OS 9)>LimeWire>Shared

If the Launch button does not work for you it might be because the Shared Directory is in the System Folder and the solution is ofcourse to change it and then move any file you might have in there to the new directory.

If that does not solve it and iTunes still refuses to play the file or if another application like Quicktime or Real Player plays it but you want iTunes to play it then you will find the solution in my previous post about it here:
