I"m sorry that you feel Limewire is failing you somehow. Perhaps you might try opening Preferences under the Limewire tag. On the first Options page, you should see where the downloaded files are being saved. It should look something like /Users/yourname/Shared. Now go to Sharing and make sure that this same entry is showing in the box. Once these two entries match, your Shared file should show up in the Library window and enable you to play the tracks from the Library page. You can, of course, launch the files from the download window before you delete them. Or, given that the file is called Shared, you could go to it directly and, once it is opened, copy the MP3 files to whatever internal player you are using.

Hope this has helped and that you will think less violent thoughts about Limewire.
