Well, it is possible but, if I'm right, then it'd be far too much of a hassle to do it. That's because LW doesn't seem to recognize sub-folders, or at least I don't think it does: I tried sorting stuff in my shared in sub-folders, but, even though Limewire recognized that there were, like, 500 files in the Shared directory, it didn't show any of them in the Library, and Refreshing it didn't help at all.
Now, to actually add all the folders, you have to click explore in the Library, or go to Limewire->Preferences (or Options, depending on the OS you have) and add them from there.
To understand why this would be a hassle, if you're like me and like to have an iTunes library that's all organized with Artist, album, song, etc, etc names, then go to the Music folder in the Home directory of the Finder and see how many folders there are. If you've got more than 500 songs and they're all sorted by artist/ album then you're in trouble...
Unless someone has a much faster way to add folders to share in LW, then it's just too bothersome IMO (I've already done it twice, before and after upgrading to Panther and frankly, I don't I'll ever do it again...)
