Unhappy iTunes Integration

no thats not what I mean. On mac versions.. when you download a song in LW it automatically adds it to your itunes library in a playlist called LimeWire. The version of LW that I just bought is supposed to do the same thing for windows but its not as far as I can tell. Im going to request my money back if I cant figure this out soon. I email customer support a while back and they never got back with a real answer.. anything helpful would be great. thanks a lot though for trying.

Hmmm where did you buy LimeWire from. The basic version is free. Check out this link. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=28751

Also what version of LimeWire do you have?

Well a lot of people get scammed was just making sure you were not one of them.

I have been thinking about d/l and installing itunes. I guess now is as good a time as any.

I'll let you know what happens. I have LW pro 4.8.1 also. Shouldn't take long.

Well I just d/l and installed itunes. I set it up according to the tutorial and the post I put the link to before.

I setup 3 different playists in itunes. d/l some music and it appears itunes is working the way it should.

Now I just need to organize my music.

Maybe one of the other members in the forum may be able to help.

The relationship b/w LW & iTunes on a mac compared to windows is different. There is no auto-importing like on a mac. All you get is a LW playlist which is simply a reference to the songs in the LW downld folder (generally called Shared by default.)

So you must use other techniques to actually import the songs into iTunes without it simply being a reference; ie: to physically import the songs into the iTunes Music Library folders.

As you're aware, the easiest is Add. On windows that's Control-O. You can select multiple files at once by holding down the SHIFT key after selecting the 1st one. Coincidentally I'm putting a GiF together about this to add to the above link but haven't quite finished yet. (I need to get rid of the copyright references for show & tell, lol.) But all the same, the windows iTunes tutorial will show this anyway. The above link gives you multiple options.

As far as having the limewire playlist show in iTunes, you need to go to LW's menu Tools>Options>iTunes>Sharing

(Asking for money back? If you're a pro user you get pro mac & windows. lol)

ok so i clicked share my music in LW and when i open itunes i have a playlist that refers to the name i chose. however, in that playlist... it is blank. there arent any songs. and limewire is supposed to integrate with WINDOWS JUST LIKE IT DOES MAC. That was the point of the 4.8.1 VERSION. MAYBE YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT THEIR WEBSITE. If you think there is something else I can do, please please let me know.. but.. i must ask you.. try to be more clear with your posts. in your last post to me, you referenced a link that wasnt even in the forum. and you mention "ADD" i mean.. i dont know what youre even talking about.. thanks
