Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Default Mac Limewire playsts vs PC playlists

I use Limewire on my Mac, and it works just fine. I installed it on my PC to troubleshoot an issue a friend of mind is having, and I don't have the answers.

On my Mac I have a "Limewire" playlist. I can grab a song from there and drag it in to any playlist, and the all show up in my Library.

On my PV I have an "Administrators Limewire" playlist, and I can see the music I downloaded from Limewire, but I can't do anything with them. I can't edit the "Info", I can't drag the songs to another playlist, and the Limewire songs don't show up in my Library.

This almost seems like a permissions issue, but I don't think it is. Can someone help me out with this?

TIA

The LimeWire playlist in iTunes right? You didn't mention iTunes but I'm guessing this is what you're talking about. This playlist simply reflects what's in the LW downld folder. It can be played but not burnt or copied.

If you're refering to playlists saved via the LW media player, then that can work in iTunes or any other player that supports that type of playlist format. But playlist files only work if the original files are still in their original location. Since a playlist is simply a pointer; it points the player to where the songs are.

Yes, I'm speaking of iTunes. (sorry)

The characteristics between Mac & PC are very different with Limewire.
On the Mac I have the LW playlist, and all of the music on that playlist is in the library, and I can drag the music to any playlist I want.

On the PC the music in the LW playlist isn't in the library even though I copied the songs to that folder.

I am having the same problem, I think.

On my Mac at work I have a regular iTunes playlist with no restrictions (why would anyone would use the LimeWire player...). I set LimeWire to download to my iTunes folder. LimeWire automatically creates a playlist and the mp3s are automatically imported to my iTunes library when they go into that playlist. Once the mp3s hit that playlist, iTunes imports them and organizes it for me.

The only thing I have on my PC at home is the iTunes Shared LimeWire Tunes. There is no control over the info (name, artist, etc.). The more I think about it, the more it sounds like LimeWire doesn't want you to have control...

Never Mind...

I guess I should have searched a little further.

The auto importing of songs by iTunes from LW on a mac & the LW playlist on iTunes are 2 different things. iTunes will import the songs whether you have the LW playlist option enabled in iTunes or not.

Well, everything aside, I think that there might be a glitch with my LW because there is no LW playlist in my iTunes. There's only a shared LW Tunes folder. I know how to activate and deactivate the shared folder, but there's no option for the activation of a playlist.

That "is" a playlist. It simply reflects the files you have downloaded. For windows users it would mean the files are only in their download folder & not in the iTunes library. But since Mac LW has the option to automatically import them, you end up with 2 copies. The LW playlist in iTunes is whatever you want to name it. Check your LW prefs > iTunes > Sharing & the name of the folder listed. You can change it. But you might need to relaunch iTunes & possibly also LW before you would see the change of the playlist name.

So, I'm SOL when it comes to manipulating the info...

I'm not sure I understand the whole "2 copies" comment. As stated earlier, I have a Mac at work and I don't have that problem.

When you download a song, you have one copy in your LW download folder. Also when you have downloaded a song, iTunes automatically "copies" it to its own music library. So thus you end up with 2 copies. iTunes doesn't move it, it copies it. So with the original copy in your LW download folder, the iTunes LW playlist simply reflects this. Unless your download folder "is" iTunes music folder.

Oh, yeah. That's what I've done. My downloads folder and iTunes folder are the same.

Do you have any idea why LW would offer the iTunes import for one platform and not the other? Kinda annoying.

Would this be a good suggestion in the Requested Features thread?
