It would also possibly help if you tell us the equipment you are using Windows or Mac .... Opperating System etc. version of iTunes etc I haven't a clue if you use Windo$e

Some people get confused because they see the LW playlist within iTunes & think the songs are already within iTunes Music Library. But this isn't the case. That's only a playlist & the songs will still exist within your LW downld folder. They must be added using techniques as suggested by rkapsi or a couple of xtra techniques suggested in the thread I refered to in my above post.

* Go to iTunes preferences >Advanced & make sure the option 'Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library' is ticked. (see image below: win to left & mac to the right.)

You should also make sure you have the most up to date iTunes & iPod softw. Update both.

Remember you can add songs manually & this is probably the wisest way to add songs to your iPod.

As Only A Hobo hinted, if you're using mac osx then it's much easier to set up as iTunes can be made to automatically import the songs to its music library. But this only applies to mac osx.

ahh, that helps.
will read the threads in future

another way to get your limewire (LM) tunes into your itunes playlist and onto your ipod is to copy the mp3's directly from the LM save directory.
This is the directory you specified when you installed LM to put stuff.

Look at your LM preferences to determine the location of the directory. Copy to/from using 2 finder windows. You might have some naming issues, ie songs might be stuck in unknown artist or something, but you can work it out.
