i need some help, i am trying to transfer my songs from bearshare to limewire but the songs are protected. my computer is running on windows vista. i tryed downloading the bearstarter and the old ver. of BS. everytime i download them it says they have expires or it goes to bearflix. anyhelp? i have all my song on bearshare and just got an ipod... would a mp3 converter work to change the file type of the songs

No. You have a collection of DRM-infested files that you can't convert.

If you want to use BearShare and BearStart on Vista, right-click each program and set them up
to run in XP mode and logged in as an admin user. Seriously consider converting the computer
to XP before you get locked in permanently to the untrustworthy Vista.

Uninstall the BearFlix crippleware so it doesn't interfere anymore.

Once you get the real BearShare working instead of that v6 iMesh clone
the music you download will work on the iPod.

why in God's name would you want to go from BearShare to LimeWire?

does the bearshare 5.1 have discover and can you download entire albums at a time?

i liked the new version of bearshare because you can download albums by new releases,albun cover etc. is there anything like that out that can work with itunes

pay attention..the new versions of BearShare have problems...like being controlled by evil entities...go ahead, use at your own risk...if you are too lazy to search out the contents of a given album and download individual tracks then that's your problem...you WILL have other problems if you keep using new versions...

what is the latest version of bearshare that can still work with itunes or is not protected

the beta version which I'm using supports itunes and afaik its the last one that isn't drm infested.....when forced into ultrapeer mode it rocks and blows everything else off of the map....
