LimeWire & iTunes Integration
 

Hi guys, I need help figuring out how to make LimeWire & iTunes integration work.

I have tried searching in the forums but I couldn't find a thread that has similar problems to mine. If this is a duplicate thread, please forgive me... Lacking patience...

I've used LimeWire in Windows XP, and the integration with iTunes worked. A folder shows up in iTunes whenever I run LimeWire and iTunes simultaneously.

I'm now using an iMac, OS X 10.4.1 & iTunes 4.9

Preferences, both iTunes & LimeWire has been set accordingly. No folder shows up in iTunes. I wonder why.

Hope anyone has an answer/suggestion as to what I can do to resolve this matter. Thanks in advance.

Well for mac osx it's easy for us (so to speak.) lol :D
If you want iTunes to import the songs automatically go to LW's prefs>iTunes>Importing & tick enable & press apply.

If you want the LW playlist to show in iTunes then: 1. Go to LW's prefs>iTunes>Sharing & type the name you want to use (you can also do that in iTunes.) And tick the option Share my music & press apply.
2. Within iTunes, I'm not sure if you need to do anything here unless you want to share on a network. But you can go to iTunes Preferences>Sharing & tick Look for Shared music. The other option I think is for sharing your playlist from comp to comp.

Well, I went into limewire-preferrences and checked the box to integrate into itunes, and then pressed apply. Nothing happened. Not sure what to do next.

soetimes I get the Limewire folder in iTunes, sometimes not! but limewire is still integrated. ....strange!!!

I'm fairly certain the playlist doesn't appear until next time you open LW & iTunes.

The odd thing is I noticed I have a LW playlist in iTunes despite having disabled this option. And it included titles added today. So I can only guess it's because this playlist already exists & iTunes is set for Share my music. That's got me a little confused. lol :D I can always delete the playlist I guess. :rolleyes:

i now realise there are two playlists that apear ... one is an ordinary list which adds all new tunes from limewire as they are added. I listen to these and then clear them from the i tunes "limewire" list. The other list is "hobo's" limewire tunes... a list that cannot be edited from within, which is a list of all I am sharing on LW. It is possible that this only appears when I am connected to another local computer which is often
The first list is great and I could not be with out it. it also fails to show a tune if it has failed to load into itunes, which happens occasionally, sometimes because the file is faulty or an Albumwrap or some other format that itunes fails to recognise ... and sometimes for no apparent reason. It is really useful to check this list against completed transfers in LW, before clearing that list.
