I just dowloaded limewire 5 and i am unable to transfer songs from limewire library to itunes. I have a folder which used to save my downloaded songs from limewire but it seems that with limewire 5 the songs are not being saved in that folder.Please help i have being trying for the past 2 hours and head is beginning to hurt. I am using windows vista.

Thank you.

AFAIK for windows users, the songs are now automatically transferred to iTunes IF you have that option enabled. Open iTunes, look under playlist called Recently Added, & see if your songs are listed.

melj,

To enable automatic transfer to iTunes - in LW go tools > options > downloads. Tick the box to add audio files from LW to iTunes > ok.

If you want to, you can change where your downloads are saved - in LW go tools > options > downloads. Now you can browse for the folder that your downloads used to go to & select that folder. Click ok to save the change

Edit - Looks like you might also have to change where specific categories are downloaded (sorry - we're still learning about LW 5 as well). In LW go tools > options > advanced > files. Click on the Download Folders 'configure' button... now browse for the folder that you want your downloads to go to > select > ok. Then also click ok on the larger options page.
Does that help?

I have just downloaded the new limewire, picked 100 songs and saved them in my folder to download on to my mp3 player, but it is coming up with the message 'the disk is write protected'. 'Remove the write-protection'. I get this message when i'm using Windows Media Player 'Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you are trying to play, burn, or sync an item that is in your library, the item might point to a file that has been moved, renamed, or deleted.' What is going wrong? Please help anyone. Thank you.

Sorry but these instructions did not apply to Limewire 5.

What instructions? LW 5 has changed since it was originally released, the 5.2 beta is quite different to 5.1 & 5.0

I downloaded limewire 5.1.4 and there is no option any place in there for itunes.

Tools -> Options -> Downloads. That's for auto-transfer. But you'd need to restart both LW & iTunes before it took effect. There's also the LW share list option which is found at Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Files

Thank you that worked.

Greetings all.

Just bought LW pro and now find it has no link to itunes like older versions have. Also on my Mac I cannot drag files over. Can that be possible??? Hard to believe. Thanks for any suggestions.
