I wish there were an option in Limewire whereby users could make corrections to song titles and artist names. There are a lot of songs with simple errors in their titles, songs that are identified as a completely different songs, and songs with incorrect performers' names attached. I recall once being able to contact a host and informed him/her of the errors on some tracks he/she was sharing. He/she responded, "I don't know what they are. I just download and share." Actually, he/she admitted he/she had never even heard of the songs I was talking about. Makes for a lot of wasted time downloading incorrect stuff.
Are you asking for a feature where you could rename files on other people's machines (and they could rename files on your machine)?

Cheers,
Michael

I think I'm asking for the impossible. I know that asking for access to others pc's would be out of the question, but there should be some mechanism whereby corrections can be made, or sharers could be notified of an error. There are countless errors, especially with older music. Even if we could have a central contact whom we could notify and they in turn could advise the song poster of their error. I realize this might be very difficult, because there could be multiple postings of the same error. And I know from experience that a lot of users don't listen to, verify or even know what they are downloading/sharing. But it happens a lot, and it's frustrating to have to download something, find out it is incorrect, delete it, find another copy and redownload. And if more than one sharer has perpetuated the same error, lot of time can be wasted.
