Cool Re: How do I share iTunes files?

Running OS9.1 with iTunes 2.0
I have to admit to being really befuddled by the Add a New File process.
The window to do this is very cryptic.
I tried adding a new folder and naming it 'iTunes Music' which is the name of the folder I want to share on my system and it didn't work, seemingly because it's not formatted correctly. Any help will be much appreciated.
Hello!

The easiest way is to create a new folder(In Finder go to file menu and select new folder) that you Renames to Sharedfolder2 and put it on the root level on your HD and not in any subsequent folders.

To create a new shared directory in LimeWire do the following:

In LW select Tools>Options>Sharing

And in the new window that appears select Look in: and select Macintosh HD and then in the list that appears select the newly created folder by highlighting it and then click the select button and the window will close.Then click the apply button then the OK button. Now add all your iTunes music files that you want to share to that new Shared2 folder by dropping them in there or you can drop an entire folder with lots of music all at once.

Now Re-launch LimeWire and the new directory should now also be a shared directory. You may have to click the Refresh button in your Library for the new files to be listed.
