hello i have about 10 gigs of pure hip hop in i tunes, but when i put it in the library, i dosent show at all (i think there are folders in folders, like roc raida is in the turntablism folder, which is in the dj folder, which is in the i tunes music folder which i put on the library list)
is there any way to get it to show up without dumping them into one folder and f**king up my i tunes setup? any info would be very useful, as my collection would put all those puff daddy/nelly wannabe's to sleep.

This might sound silly, but do those file have ".mp3" at the end of their filenames? This is known to happen you know.

I don't think it matters much how many folders a file is wrapped in, but someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Happy sharing.

yes. just abot all of them do. why?

I'm having the same type of problem. When I complete a download the file stays in my incomplete folder and doesn't move the the shared folder. I've renamed files and manually dragged files from incomplete folder to shared folder and it still won't show up in the library

Well, LW (and for that matter, any other p2p softwares) wouldn't recognize files without the file format identified (e.g. .mp3, .jpg, .sit etc...). But it seems your files have them already, so it must be something else.

I wonder how you added your 10 gigs to your sharing list.
The "usual way" is:
1. Start up LW
2. Go to Tools<Options<Sharing
3. Click "Add..." (a new window will open)
4. Select the folder(s) you want to share, and click OK (or Apply).
When you've done this, you are sharing not only the files you downloaded, but also all the files which are in the folder(s) which you've just registered.

Alternatively, as you seem to have done, you could drag the folders you want to share into "Shared" folder in which the newly downloaded files move in.

Now, the way to confirm whether the files are actually shared:
1. Open "Library" window (after starting up LW of course)
2. Look at the colum on your left (it should at least have "Shared" and "Incomplete" folders)
3a. If you share your files "the usual way", you should see the folder(s) which you've just added.
3b. If you moved the 10 gigs into the "Shared" folder, then open the "Shared" folder until you find the folders you moved. If you see them, you've just made LW community 10 gigs wealthier.

If you still don't find the folders which you moved into "Shared" folder, go back to Tools>Options>Sharing, and see if the "Shared" folder is indeed listed there. It could be either that LW somehow has not included the "Shared" folder on the list there, OR that you've somehow moved to a folder named "Shared" but in fact is a different folder which is listed on the preferences (this happened to me once).

Have another look, and let us know how it's going.

To both of you;
Have you clicked "Refresh" when you looked into the Library window? "Refresh" button updates the shared state of the files and folders.

Andy, I suspect if your problem is related to the matter we're dealing with in this thread. We are here dealing with 'upload' issue, whereas yours has to do with downloading and completing.

I am pretty sure there were couple more threads in the past which specifically dealt with your problem. Why don't you take a look at them and see if they'll provide you with answers.

Good luck.
