I must have a setting wrong on my lw or itunes. How can I get it to move the downloaded search songs over to itunes automatically, without drag and drop

Only if you are using Mac OSX computer. If yes, go to LW's preferences & choose iTunes & you will see the option.

I just started having the same problem. How did you drag and drop? I can't get my downloaded songs to move anywhere. Did you drag to iTunes? Never had this problem before last night.

Sometimes it can stop auto-transferring, simply close LW & reopen it should do the trick.
To drag & drop from your download folder, not within LW; Press Explore button on saved files folder in LW's Library window & it will open the folder for you. How to transfer music to my iPod (& iTunes) {click on link}

Thanks; I'll check everything tonight when I get home. My tech son had everything set for me and I never had a problem until last night. It's possible it was me!
