Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Default Itunes no longer sees newly imported songs.

I have one of these new G5's running 10.3.8 and itunes 4.7.1 with Limewire 4.8.1.

All was well for a few weeks. I would download new songs and they would show up in the recently added playlist in itunes. Now it doesn't, or only infrequently.

In a related topic, how do you all manage these files from limewire to itunes. I have in the past download numerous songs at a time and played them in itunes, but they are not in the library yet. correct? Whats the best system to organize these incoming files that I desire to keep?

Thanks!

Tor

Check your preferences settings. Go to LW's Prefs>iTunes>Importing & enable iTunes importing & press apply. Go to Prefs>iTunes>Sharing & make sure your name & sharing option is ticked. Once songs are imported into iTunes then they are definitely within iTUnes music library (don't get confused with the windows version iTunes.)

Keep in mind iTunes cannot import some types of mp3s. Notable are Ogg Vorbis mp3 format, & rm (not sure about anymore.) So just double-check that all the songs you've dowlded are within the iTunes library. For this reason I keep a backup mp3 player in Audion which is now free!: http://www.panic.com/audion/download.html which does recognise Ogg Vorbis mp3's.

The LW playlist within iTunes is only a reference list to songs in your LW downld folder. But these should have also been imported into iTunes if importing is enabled within LW. So as suggested above ... just double-check that these songs are listed in the main iTunes library. I set my iTunes to organise via artist & album; see iTunes Prefs>Advanced & tick both ooptions for arrangement & copy files to Library when adding songs.

Ogg Vorbis is not MP3!

There are only two types of MP3. The original MP3 format which is also known as MPEG Audio Layer 3 and an enchanted - but not very successful - version called MP3 Pro (the latter is not supported by iTunes).

Ogg Vorbis:

MP3:

Thanks rkapsi for the xtra support & clarification (I learn something new everyday.) Audion does support mp3 Pro & Ogg.

But the fact iTunes doesn't support all formats shows that we need to be vigilant about checking which files have been imported Versus those that haven't. Thus I check my physical LW downld folder to iTunes library list.

Default thanks....

Thanks for the response! I checked the settings and they are all correct. I set them for itunes sharing a month ago when I started, but it all began to act flakey about a week ago, and I lost hundreds of tracks that I thought were in the library. Now, it appears to be only importing songs intermitently. Sometimes they do not enter any aspect of itunes, sometimes it enters the limewire playlist and the library, but not the recently added playlist. Odd, and unfortunate, as I work from the recently added playlist most of the time. I will try to pin it down.

Thanks again.

I wonder ... make a note of all your settings & whilst LW is closed, delete the LW preferences folder found here: /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire

Your LW Preferences might be up the putt so 2 speak. Just a thought!

But after u delete the prefs you'll need to reset the option settings next time u open LW.

Default I'll give it a whirl.

I'll try it as soon as I can, (the tossing of the prefs)

Just to make something clear. Newly downloaded files should appear in three places in itunes, the library, the limewire playlist and the recently added playlist. Right?

I don't have a newly added playlist on mine. I have a recently played playlist. But should definitely appear in the LW playlist & main library (or at least the latter.)

Default yep

It worked. Though the problem was intermittent, I think that pref file was the problem. And I am not to worry about tosssing files in my shared folder if I see them in the library, correct? or do I need to consolidate the library before cleaning out my shared folder?

Thanks for the patience, I seem to get a bit confused with the windows way.

(and I just lost a ton of music...)
