I'm new to Lime Wire and I'm having trouble seaching for whole albums. Whilst I understand about putting in whole, compleate, entire album, I'm still confused. After listing the artist and album names, it keeps telling me my 'search is too specific. Please make your search smaller and try again.' aaarrrgghh! Its driving me mad. Help please.

Put artist name only, then download songs form albums separately. I have downloaded an entire album before, you do not want to do this. When you try to play individual songs from album, it is impossible. All songs from this album are on one track. I cannot skip through to find a specific song. Not many Limewire users are smart enough to put songs separately into a zipped file.

Magic guy... you think Limewire users are not smart eh LOL

Someone asked about zip files recently and the fact is that these often are infected with viruses, so the Limwewire user will tend to avoid zip files altogeher... Albumwrap is a far better way to go as per Wondering Why's post.

Negroid warrior, just entering an artist or album name followed by album albw etc should be enough ... Search too specific comes up all to often for my liking but that's the wat it works. Also putting a lot of search terms on one line in the general search sometimes can work... experiment
