| i have transfered music from limewire to my itunes many times before, but for some reason my limewire won't let me grab the new downloads and drag them to my itunes. does anyone know how to fix this problem? |

| For fast & easy access, go to your LW Library window, select Saved Files folder & press the Explore button. Sample image here: Using Library Explore button to access downld folder (click on link) & the folder will open up for you. Drag and drop from the folder onto iTunes Library icon. |

| i HAVE A SIMILAR PROBLEM IN THAT ABOUT 50 SONGS WENT INTO A FILE "INDIVIDUALLY SHARED FILES" AND L CAN'T SEEM TO DRAG THEM INTO THE MY MUSIC FILE. aNY IDEAS? |

| Drag and drop the song files from the download folder, not the LW program. An alternative is to go to iTunes File menu ... Add to Library. Then direct it to where your LW download folder is. For fast & easy access, go to your LW Library window, select Saved Files folder or Shared folder & press the Explore button. Sample image here: Using Library Explore button to access downld folder (click on link) & the folder will open up for you. I saw someone else have a problem and it was due to their folder permissions. Check the folder permissions and make sure you have "FULL" permissions for both the LW download folder AND the iTunes Music Folder. |

| Thanks for your reply. Call me thick but can l just recount the problem. Until recently all downloaded music went into my "My Music" file on the pc and from there l could do as l wished with it. After l downloaded a recent update all downloads went into a file called "Individually Shared Files" with none of these downloads going into my "My Music" file. I soon realised the only way to play these downloads was to be connected to LW. After reporting this to LW or Gnutela, whatever that is, and messing about with settings, all my downloads now go into both the My Music and Individually Shared Files file, however, l still can't drag the original 50 or so that only went into the Individually Shared Files into the My Music file... hope you are following this. I also don't see any reference to an itunes file on my pc or on the LW page??? Quote:

| The individually shared file folder listed in your LW Library is a psuedo folder, it doesn't actually exist on your computer. People can name their LW download folder whatever they wish or choose a particular location. It sounds like you have chosen the title or location of My Music folder which is found in your personal account folder. That's fine. I am a little mystified however about the newest LW releases as some changes have been made & I haven't tried them out (I use a mac.) I need to however to test these things out, since I have installed XP on this new mac computer. I'd be curious to see a full listing of your set up on your pc. It's not easy to understand exactly how you have iTunes and LW set up. Go to iTunes, Edit menu -> Preferences -> Advanced & see what your iTunes importing location is. Is it your My Music folder location? Also, do you have the option clicked to Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to Library? When iTunes is open, do you see a LW playlist in there on the left side? Remember "Folder" is like a box, it can contain files (or documents). Try not to confuse the term "file" with "folder". |

| As l said earlier LOTR l cannot see any reference to iTunes in my LW or PC files. Like Cutirpie666 this problem only just started and has been perfect ever since l've been with LW. Should l wipe LW from my pc and reload it??? The funny thing is l don't now have the problem but l would just like to transfer downloaded music in the ISF folder into my My Music file. Quote:
