Why don't I see the player anywhere on my LimeWire?

I'm guessing that you don't like iTunes or iTunes 2(?)

There are several other Mac mp3 players available;
some are free (basic) like iTunes;
but if you want to be able to create special sound tweaks
or make your own (special) mixes,
you will likely have to pay for a player and the extra features.

ok, I have downloads and don't have a player visable anywhere so I guess i don't have one but I have itunes. I just do not understand how to make that transfer. It must be a blonde thing because I can't figure it out at all. Oh my gosh this is frustrating! I just want to use what i downloaded.

Yes I use itunes, however if the player was right on the screen with the limewire dnload window it would be handy. Not as a replacement for itunes just as a way to test the file without running itunes. As for your problem I assume you have set itunes as your default player? Just select the file in the library (shared) folder and hit launch and itunes should start and play it and add it to itunes library. Files do not need to be moved in order to play in itunes, Itunes library simply makes a data list of songs and locations of files so it can find them located in any folder etc.

good luck

If you want to play the file(s) you downloaded;
1. double-click the file you want to play, or
2. highlight the file you want to play from library>shared (if this is where you store your downloaded files), and click "launch" at the bottom of your window.
If you want to play the incomplete file(s), again, highlight the file, and click "launch". You can do this either in the search window or in the library window.

FYI, LW does not come with a player. It usually uses QT or iTunes to open the files.

And this version of LW is supposed to come with a player - when I pull down 'help' and go through all the stuff it all shows that I should have a player...

So how do I get iTunes to play the songs I download if my LW won't?

Limewire player appears not to exist - so... when the download is complete go to Sherlock and search for the file name, when its found double click on it.
If its already an itunes doc it will open in itunes automatically, otherwise you will get a message telling you "finder needs your attention". Click on finder and it will offer you one or more options for opening the. Click on itunes and... Hey presto!
