You can't take them from LimeWire to burn on a CD. You need to go to your Shared Folder on your Hard Drive and use those.

I also am on a mac, however it is OS 9, but should be close enough.

Open iTunes and under edit, either create a new play list and add songs from your shared files or just add songs to your iTune library. From there you can burn your cd.

GARMP!! so how do i just add the songs to the itunes library?

[garmp]

Launch iTunes. Under Edit in the main menu bar select "Add to Library". This opens a dialog window called Choose Object. Find your "Shared" folder that contains your downloads. On OS 9 it is in the Preferences folder inside your System folder. Select the song you want to add and hit choose. Unfortunately you must do this for each song you want to add.

Forgot something. Once you have the songs you want in the library, you can create a New Playlist, (under Edit). Give it a name and then drag selected songs to this new Playlist. You can then select this New Playlist by clicking on it, and burn this list only to a cd.

HIH (hope it helps)
