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 downloaded files won't auto transfer to itunes library on OSX 10.4

Hi-
I have a mac os 10.4.1 with the latest java update (release 6), Limewire pro4.16.6, internet via clearwire.

I have two problems:
1. When downloading a music file I often get a popup "same file already in library: you have the exact same file at Users/kenneth/shared/chocolate rasberry lemon guns.mp3. Do you want to continue dowloading anyway?"
Then if I go ahead and download the file, it doesn't show up in my itunes under limewire tunes, or in my music library. this is related to problem 2;
2. When I download a music file on limewire, it will show as "100% complete" in the "progress" bar, yet again won't show up on either my limewire tunes or in my music library. But, and this is strange, once in a while, say 10% of the time, it will properly load onto itunes. And I follow the same procedure each time to download.
Anybody able to help?
Thanks.

This has been a problems for a few years. When LW has been on for a while, iTunes seems to drop off or become unreliable importing. Best answer is to close LW & re-open when this starts happening. Else, don't auto-import to iTunes. Instead add them manually. This is what i do now so I can be sure the songs have been added to iTunes.

LW may confuse same title file as being the same when it's actually different size or attributes. That's whey the LW error message. I personally use auto Append filename when two files are of same name, then check them later before adding to iTunes to see if they are same file or not. Takes time though. To add that option, go to LW prefs > Saving > Advanced > Always Append (#) to the filename.

iTunes will add files of same name on condition they are different. ie: different file composition different size, etc.

Default Can you help me, I have a frustrating issue LW FW itunes

Hello,
I would like to obtain your help with a problem that is frustrating me a bit. I have both LW and Frostwire for quite some time now. And I have been successfully importing the songs from these two to itunes quite well until today.
I do that and as I drag the song on to itunes it does let it be there but up comes a tab saying wrong url etc etc. How can I get itunes to accept the song and play it?

I thank you for your every help. By the way, I have downloaded the newest version on all fronts thinking that this could aid. But no luck.

I thank you for thew promptest help you can give me anyone as I am a serious music advocate.

Regards,

Falcon

Be aware that iTunes will only play mp3, wav, aiff, apple lossless, aac, m4a files. It cannot play or import mp3pro (which has same file extension), ogg vorbis, wma or realplayer files. (Windows version iTunes can play wma files.)

Wrong URL .. wow that sounds odd! humm .... be sure another player can play it as well. It may be a fake-corrupt brand of file that certain groups try to spam onto the network. I wonder if a URL is within the filename & what size the files are. If less than 2 MB (2,000 KB), then I'd be suspicious. It may be a file that if used on windows would link you to a website asking you to download some player or codec ... a scam!!!

Two players to have handy for your mac osx computer: (a) Audion (click on link) which can play mp3pro & ogg vorbis files but not m4a or aac or apple lossless.
(b) VLC - (click on link) _ (choose nearest mirror site) which is a video player that can also be used as an audio stream player & thus also play normal audio files. It has support for a number of audio file formats. Abilities shown here VLC - Features

If the files cannot be played by either of those players, I'd suggest they are bad files.

When adding song files to iTunes, add them to the iTunes Library icon at the top of the playlists. If you add them to any of the playlists instead, it will not add to library but simply be referenced from the download folder from the playlist reference list.

* BTW if Audion can play the file, but iTunes can't. Then use Audion to convert it to AIFF, then import it to iTunes. You could then keep it as an aiff file or convert to apple lossless, etc. I've done that with mp3pro files, & in come cases ogg vorbis files. That's why it's handy having Audion around as a backup player.
