When I download an MP3, it does not show up in my library..why?

i have the same problem - the "shared" directory label does not show in the LW library - but the directory w/downloads is there

I am having similar problems. I have gone to Tools - Options - Sharing - Add. However, it will not allow me to add anything. The only folder listed is the incomplete folder. I am running Windows 98, and have enabled file sharing on my PC.

Yes, there is a shared folder listed. However, I am unable to add it. I can see any folder on my PC, but can add none. I have the default listing of file extensions, but can see no files. The program just chimes when I try to add, as if incomplete.

Is it possible that the lastest version of limewire has a bug and I need a patch?

I'm also in the same boat. I just downloaded limewire for the first time on saturday and i'm also unable to add anything to the sharing menu of the option on tools.
I also created a shared folder.
It doesn't let me pick any location to add.

same thing here, just downloaded and everythings like it should be?

I will look into this issue. You could also try changing your save directory in the Options window. What operating system is everyone working on?

I am running Windows 98. I reinstalled Limewire and now my "Shared" folder shows up. However, I am still unable to add any other directiories. I have a folder where I keep my music, and cannot add it. I could always add the music to my shared folder, but then that would mess up my order....

I think there's some confusion about how to use the file chooser. Unlike the typicaly windows file chooser, the one for LimeWire uses the currently "selected" directory before you go into that directory, if that makes any sense. Try selecting the directory you want to share (without double clicking it), and then pressing "select" button.

Actually, it makes more sense then the old Windows chooser. Ever trying using the New Shortcut command to link a folder in Win9X? The new Win2K/XP is far better.
