Hello!
LimeWire is not a site it is a network access client that enables you to search the network/ decentralised filesharing protocoll Gnutella and initiate downloads and transfer files trough standard http 1.1 connections. All the content on Gnutella is provided by individual users such as yourself.
After you have finished downloading a file you first before hitting the Launch button have to highlight the file in question and click Launch and your default mp3 player will launch and play the song. For Mac's the best option is ofcourse Apple's own free player iTunes. But most Mac owners already have it installed on their computers. I use it and it is great!.
Are you sure that you downloaded a actual mp3 file?
There is alot of fake spam files out ther that is not genuine mp songs. If you hit Launch many times nothing will happen when Launching such files and in some cases your browser will open and take you to a porn site or something similar. A genuine mp3 file has the .mp3 file exstension and are about 1MB/minute large meaning a typical song is atleast 3MB in size and in general even larger depending on the bitrate used.
