You could try going to LW's tools > options > advanced > super really advanced > performance. Tick the boxes to disable ultrapeer capabilities, disable connecting to DHT & disable TLS. Click 'ok'.

If things are still stuffed, you can always go back to LW 4.18.8 There's a page to download old installers: Lime Wire » Download Out-Of-Date Installers

If you're using Pro, your personal download page has a link to 4.18.8 on the left hand side - 'Get LimeWire Classic'.

What happens when you disable LW's player (tools > options > player) & use a different player?
Also try playing songs from your saved folder, rather than through LW... go to LW's library, click on Saved Files, highlight a song & click Explore. Your saved folder will open - in that saved folder, right click on a song > open with > choose whatever player.

If songs won't even play that way then maybe they're bad files. Check out these links for more info.
