Thanks for answering. I suppose I am hard headed and keep trying to use the Drag n Drop program that came with my pc. I don't know if Nero automatically converts and then burns, but I will find out. Something is limiting my transfer speeds. When I call the ISP about it they tell me everything is great with my conneciton and nothing on their end is limiting it. So, it must be limewire. I did OK when I was using Bearshare and WinMx. I've heard so much good about LW Pro that I wanted to give it a try. I suppose I will just keep trying. Where do I look for limiting factors as far as LW goes? Paris, what a beautiful city, I've been there many, many times.
