MP3s are not converting to play on iTunes
 

HELP!

When I download files into the shared folder, they don't drop into iTunes. They don't play with any player either.


Someone help PWEASE?

Hi there,

Are you running OS 9.2? If so, simply click your Apple Icon and scroll down to Sherlock - search your Hard Drive for Preferences - under that should be the
"Shared Folder" from Limewire - then simply click on that folder and you'll see all the songs you downloaded - you can drag and drop them individually in to the "Library" where they will automatically alphabetize - or better yet, you can drag the whole folder and drop it into the library - a message box will pop up - simply click okay and you're in business! :)

Hi, thank you for your help but I tried this several times. Usually when the MP3s download into the shared folder they will get the Quicktime logo on them, now they're not even doing that. I've tried draggin them into iTunes and no luck and everytime I click on the MP3 song, it brings up the LimeWire window again. The first song I downloaded worked fine and the others simply do not do nothing. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the software hoping this would erase any problem I was having. I am not running OS 2, is that the problem there??? Should I download another file sharing program?? Thanks for your help in advance. :)

Yup mine is doing that, just a lil white piece of paper icon that won't do anything! It's very frustrating.

Hello again,

Have you upgraded to 9.2.1? (free if you already have 9.1) - off the Apple website - www.apple.com/support - then go to downloads (lotsa great stuff here.) My files do show up as quicktime files - in the shared folder - are you
going through Sherlock to Access the "Shared Folder"? This is the route I use in 9.2.1 - and it works great. :) I can do this without even having Limewire open.

I only have Mac OS 9, so I guess I'm screwed. I tried downloading again last night and out of 7 songs, 1 song converted and it did play. I opened iTunes, and selected the "convert to MP3" and chose the selected file and that didn't even work. I will search through the apple website and try to update my OS. If possible could you email me?? That way we don't have to go back and forth through here?? Here's my email~~~~>> [email]/email]

Thank you so much.
