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.

Sorry if I've misread your problem...it's a bit hard to tell.

When you add to your mp3 player, you'll need to add the original music files & not just playlist files. A playlist will just contain m3u files that refer to the original files. So, try adding to your player from your LW saved folder. In LW tools > options > saving will show you the path.

If you go to your LW library & click on Saved Files then click Explore, your saved folder will open for you. Chances are, you can drag & drop from this folder into your player. If dragging & dropping doesn't work, check the player's manual for instructions about how to add files to the player. Just make sure that you add them from LW's saved folder.

What mp3? Are you talking about a portable mp3 player or a software program on your computer that players mp3's? If it's a portable device then tell us the brand & model name & numbers. If it's a software program then tell us the name of the program. It's difficult to help without this information.

Default The helpers are missing the point

I've put in a search for m3u files. I can't believe how many other people are having the same problem. I have also done all of the answers from the helpers, but the helpers are missing the point. I checked my saved folder, the one the program defaults to and even changed the destination to my own folder, and they are m3u files. If you click on saved files in the library, they are m3u files. No where do they show on my hard drive as mp3 files. When you click on them they do start to play in windows media. But other programs or devices don't recognize them. The helpers keep saying that when you down load it to your saved folder they are mp3. Not on my computer and from what I can see from several others, not thiers either. It appears this problem is effecting so many people, the company running this site needs to address it in their directions or post a note.

Default I figured out the problem.

I finally figured out the problem. Follow these directions.

After downloading the song, click on it and then click the "Enqueue" icon. That will place it below in the mp3 Playlist. Then click on it once and then click on the "save as" icon. This will take you to what ever folder you have designated as your save folder. Then at the bottom, click on the down arrow on the "Files of Type" line and change it to or click on all files. Then above you will see the song you down loaded and it is still in mp3. Click on that, which will put it in the "File Name" line below. Click Save and it will be your saved folder as an mp3 file. Unbelievable those instructions aren't in the help files.

I'm sorry...I just don't know what's going on with your files. My files show with their extension (mp3 or m4a for example) in the library and also in my saved folder. I've never had to go through any of that rigmarole of adding to a playlist, save as etc. People do have problems with m3u files but it's usually when they're trying to add files to burn, or add to an mp3 player. In those cases, people are usually trying to add from a playlist, rather than adding from their saved folder. The only time I see an m3u file is within a playlist. Have you tried using your computer's search to look for mp3 files?
Other people don't seem to be having quite the same problem as you, which is possibly why your instructions aren't included in any help files.

But your post might help anyone else who's having the same problem that you were.

Friggin arrogance! What people download & save as m3u files. Ignorant ones I suspect. Actually my suspicion is that your default is wmp & m3u so LW thinks your files are m3u files. WMP is a playlist player & m3u are playlist files. Get your computer system in order & stop blaming us for your own lack of ability to set your media player up properly. For a start, anybody who uses the default wmp as their main player is someone who doesn't know ilch about anything but how to turn a computer on or off. Did you consider taking computer lessons before you jumped in & bought a computer. Like buying a car before you can drive it. lol
