For what it's worth, I gave up on Lime Wire. Too much frustration, too many hours wasted trying to get it to work. I would select 20 songs to download, 18 would come up "Awaiting" sources, and the other two I was waiting in line or something else. What really ticked me off was that it didn't happen until I paid for the Pro version.
I am now using Rhapsody. After a free trial it costs $10 a month for all the songs you want to be able to listen to. If you want to burn them, it's 79 cents a song. It adds up but there is no advertising, popups, etc. And it works.
