With iTunes support turned on, and the "Use Limewire Player" box unchecked, a newly downloaded song will open iIunes on a G4 Mac running OS 10.3.5 and the latest updates, provided that you have quit and restarted LW after disabling the LW player. The reason is that LW (4.0.4. I can't really say for the newest versions or the betas, but I figure that this mustn't have changed) needs the restart to remove the player controls, so, if done correctly, then LW with a disabled player doesn't show the various Play/Stop/blah blah controls at the bottom right of the LW window.
I suppose that you did do the procedure right (again, not forgeting to click Apply after the changes are made and then restarting LW), so I'm thinking that this is a one time problem.
I took the time to dld several songs to test it. Sure enough, a dld in progress, when Launched would open iTunes and import the portion of the song that had been dlded up to that point. When the dld finished, iTunes would open and the songs would go into the Limewire playlist.

Note also that I am not a developer and, when it comes down to computer programing, I don't know squat.
I wrote the "do not be offended" remark precisely
because you wrote that you have experience with computers. I wanted to point out the exact steps in a clear way to make sure that everybody is talking about the same procedures. Knowing that you were knowledgable about comps, I thought that it might offend you if I used "baby talk" to clear up the steps (because you'd think that I wasn't taking you seriously and/or I was trying to make fun of you). That's why I wrote that. I get the feeling that it had the oposite effect...
And one last
important thing. I made a huuge mistake in the previous post. I wanted to write "disable the
Limewire player in the Preferences, etc etc". I accidentaly wrote iTunes.
