Files won't play
 

Hi everyone,

This is my first time on this forum, so please be patient with me :).

Limewire 4.18.8 and iTunes 8 on OSX 10.4.11.

I have used Limewire for more than 5 years now and have never had a problem with it. I always download the updates as they come along. Recently, more specifically a month ago, I downloaded some songs as usual and then, when they are fully downloaded ("Completed") I double-clicked them in order to play them and they just wouldn't play. About half the songs play and the other half don't.

Things I have tried:
1. I have tried to drag the songs that don't play from the Limewire Saved folder into the iTunes folder and that trick only worked once, out of 10 trials.
2. I have tried to drag the songs directly from the Limewire program into the iTunes "Music Library" in the iTunes program and they just don't move to iTunes.
3. I tried to send one of these files to my cellphone via Bluetooth and my phone says the file is corrupted. Is there a way to NOT download corrupted files. Is the cellphone just crazy or is the file really corrupt?

It seems to be a problem either with the files downloaded or that iTunes is not accepting Limewire songs (only half the time).

Can anyone shed any light into this issue?

Thanks!

Karina

Welcome to the forums.

I believe you'll find your answer here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/open-d...od-itunes.html (scroll down to read instructions from Lord of the Rings)

Thank you, Blackhorse 70V. I have read the instructions of Lord of the Rings and unfortunately I had tried those already. As I said, I have been using Limewire for many years now. I believe there is something wrong with the songs that are being downloaded...

I have dragged the files over to iTunes and they just aren't taken up by iTunes. And it's not ALL files. It's only half of the files. For example, I have about 10 songs in my Limewire Saved folder. I drag one of the songs to the iTunes Music Library and it works. The file is taken in by iTunes and I can play it with no problem. The other file, I try to drag over and it is not acknowledged by iTunes. It doesn't appear in iTunes and there is no error message. That is what I find confusing.

Has anyone had problems with corrupted files from the internet downloaded by Limewire?

Thanks!
