Try searching on [your search].mp3. Also, I do believe there is a selection to search on songs only. That works fine in my case and returns only mp3 titles.

If you cheated by selecting a higher connection speed and have too many connections you computer will most likely run slower. Another problem I encountered is that if I go nuts and have too many downloads going at the same time (in my case it is greater than 30) the computer will sometimes appear to freeze.

As far as content goes, Limewire has absolutely no way of controlling what gets shared on the network. It does have a filtering ability for searches though. When people disguise porn as something else (some do) the filters naturally get defeated.

I have been using Limewire for a little over a year and have found it basically OK. I like some of its features that the others don't have.

As far as paying for it, I do. I don't expect a highly refined piece of software for the $9.50 they are asking. I have paid over $300 for software that had more problems than Limewire.

Good luck on your music quest.
