I want to delete the songs in my limewire library after I've transferred them to iTunes. The problem is, they don't stay on iTunes. Is there any way that I can clean out Limewire and still have the songs on iTunes?

Maybe... because you deleted the file?
You can't... delete your limewire library.... doing so will delete it from your Hard Drive...
Just change where your saving the file if you don't want it showing up....

Trust me... I know
I was dumb enough to delete it... afterwards WMP wouldn't play it...

Yea He's Right

Don't get confused!!! Just because you see the LW Playlist in iTunes does not mean they are in iTunes music library. The LW playlist is simply a playlist that can be played but not copied or burnt, & simply reflects what audio songs you have in your LW download folder. To get the songs into iTunes music library, see How to transfer music to my iPod (& iTunes).

Then, once the songs are "actually" in iTunes Library (you can check by clicking on Music & seeing if they're there ... use the date added column & arrange them that way to be sure they were added), after you're "absolutely sure" the songs are in iTunes then you can delete them from the LW downld folder.

The difference between iTunes & most other audio programs is iTunes has its own music library where it stores music files. Whereas most other players such as WMP are simply playlist players. eg: WMP does not create its own folder to store audio files added to it like iTunes does.

The moral of this is "ignore" the LimeWire playlist you see in iTunes. It is simply a playlist & has nothing to do with music being added to iTunes. Also, don't forget to share back. At the bottom of the link I gave above are instructions on how to share iTunes music folders, which you can do for albums or artists.

Thanks for the replys. I guess what I meant to say is: is there any way to keep my computer running up to speed by transferring the limewire downloads into another folder and then to itunes? I've found that once I get about 200 songs on limewire my computer speed slows down significantly. I have 256GB + 512GB extra. Would my only option be to buy more memory? (computer is kind of cheap in the first place)

Just add to iTunes (BUT make sure they are actually added!!!) & then delete from LW downlds folder. It would probably be ideal to have iTunes music library on a different partition or disk than the OS drive. If you want to know how to do then ask.

BTW this might also help liven up LW & your system: Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue!

Ok I'll try that thank you

You all so can try Defraging your computer once a week that will help your speed to.
