Angry too many wrong listings on limewire

there are far too many listings that are wrong and/or deceiving. too many songs with wrong titles. too many incorrect artists. if people don't know THE NAME(!) of the track/artist they are sharing, don't put it up. it wastes lots of other community members' time!
for ex.: there's a listing by the group *** called "******". it's not the right title at all, and has nothing to do with drake beyond a possible lyrical subject/mood. it's by ****, and it's titled: "*****".
please keep these things in mind, so we can make this a bettr service.
thnks

My friend, badly named songs are a problem that has been around since the beggining of file-sharing itself. There's little you can do about it.

Newer features being introduced in LW will help with this. File hashing will allow you to find the file you look for, no matter which name it has, even if a user had this file with a complete different name . WinMX already has this, so you won't download a fake, even if it has the same name, and soon you'll have this on LW. Of course that will work connecting to the peers that have this feature, too.
