I absolutely cannot get Limewire 5.2.8 to auto place songs into my iTunes. I did everything I've always done, and I check my recently added to find that my songs are nowhere to be found.

Did you try manually adding the songs to iTunes via drag & drop from the LW download folder? That will at least tell you if the files are ok or not.

The setting for enabling iTunes is in Tools -> Options ->My Files ... Configure button for auto-adding songs to iTunes.

iTunes cannot import wma, real, mp3pro or ogg files. iTunes can import mp3, m4a/mp4, aiff, wav & apple lossless.

I did, and manually it works, but not auto. It only stopped working once I upgraded my Limewires D:

Sometimes it can be a bit tricky, stopping importing during long sessions for example. Go to the setting, disable press ok. Then go back, enable, press ok.
Oh .. you may need to restart iTunes also.

That's an issue Mac OSX users have had to deal with for many years. It's only been this year Windows users have had the auto-import feature.

Thanks so much
