Default automatic downloads from limewire to itunes

On my macbook pro when I downloaded a song in limewire and clicked explore it used to automatically add it to my limewire playlist in itunes but last night it stopped doing that. I cant even drag a song into itunes now, what do I need to do to get limewire to automatically add my song to my itunes again when I click explore? I got a message saying I had to go into itunes and click something under files, if anyone could help me I would appreciate it, this is very frustrating

Not sure I can help, but the "Explore" button only opens a folder . . .

The LimeWire Preferences (command-comma) have a section especially for iTunes. See if those options are what you expect.

lol be patient.

On Mac OSX there's a few ways to add songs to iTunes from LW.
What you need to keep in mind is the playlist you see called '(name) LW tunes' or whatever you chose to call it, is simply a playlist. The songs themselves are not in the iTunes music library, but instead or in the LW download folder. And the playlist points iTunes to find them there. If you should remove the songs from the download folder then the playlist won't be able to find them.

Best way is to add the music files to iTunes Music Library.

This can be done automatically using LW's auto import function, however this is not always reliable. Go to LW's preferences (keyboard shortcut is Command - Comma ,). Then choose the iTunes tab, then select as shown below. But tick the import option, example below shows it not ticked. To manually add songs, see How to transfer music to my iPod (& iTunes) {click on link}
