I am also having trouble with Limewire not playing my downloaded mp3s. It doesn't even appear to have the player. Anyone know why that is? Do I need to uninstall and reinstall?

Just go to your options tab and uncheck the limewire player it will launch the default player.

I was spoiled with the older version of Limewire. I'm running on Mac OS 9.2 and I used to click on the 'Launch' button or just double click on mp3s, mpgs, whatever and my default players, itunes or quicktime, would start. Now, on LW 2.2.4 when I do this nothing happens. Sure I can get around it by opening the player first, converting the files through the player app but it seems like a whole lot of extra steps I didn't have to take before.
Also, I'm not sure if this by design but there is no Limewire player in options listed under tools, nor is a player option reflected under the library tab. Is this a Mac specific thing or is a re-install recommended here?

I think this version of limewire is not as good as the older version i cant burn cds because it wont launch into my itunes application is there anyway that anyone knows to do that?
Thanxs

Ditto, folks..
I had the LWire freeware, and it defaulted to iTunes, now quicktime player launches when hit the launch button in LW library.
* I saw some instruction to de-select something in the LWire Options menu, but there's nothing to de-select.
-guess I'll try the reinstall again and see what happens.
*Another thought:
at the end of a downloading session, open your iTunes Library and the download file from LWire, and transfer them (highlight/drag) them over to iTunes, or try an import function.. it's worked pretty well for me, though sometimes I have to double check that they actually show in the iTunes Library, (sometimes they're in the iTunes library file folders, but not on the player library itself..odd but it happens)

Go to the Apple Menu and select Control Panels. See if you see anything called File Exchange. If you do, open that. You'll see a window where you can choose which application opens which type of files. Scroll down to mp3 (or hit the M key to get there much quicker). Highlight the application, which is probably QuickTunes, select Change, then choose iTunes.

My mp3s still are downloading as quicktime format. I am now using a program called the itunes associator which works awesome and all you need to do is drag and drop onto its icon and it instantly converts to Itunes format.This Itunes associator can be found at Macupdate.com.

Check it out!

Here are some tips I picked up from another thread. The first one was left by some obnoxious nutwing, and I quote:

"Go to iTunes... Open preferences in the EDIT menu... Click the GENERAL tab... Under "Internet" go to: Use iTunes for internet music playback... Click on SET... Click OK to exit..... DONE!!!!"

Believe it or not that one worked for me.
Here's the other:

"Go to the Apple Menu and select Control Panels. See if you see anything called File Exchange. If you do, open that. You'll see a window where you can choose which application opens which type of files. Scroll down to mp3 (or hit the M key to get there much quicker). Highlight the application, and select your preferred player."

This one I'm not too sure about but if it helps anyone, what the heck. See Ya!
