Everyone I've talked to seems be having this problem with LW on Jag. The Preferences just won't hold between sessions and it's maddening. The permissions theory is plausible but I have no expertise in this area and just switched to Jag a few weeks ago. You're probably having a few other issues too: 1. Trying to add a recently downloaded mp3 to itunes despite it being the default player. You'll see the rainbow wheel and/or the text insertion cursor and/or the arrow and it will flash rapidly while Limewire wheezes and moans as it trys to find Itunes and insert the newly downloaded song into the library folder. You might crash on the way. 2. The whole system will become generally unstable and 10X slower and you'll get that nasty feeling of an impending crash. You try to Force Quit and there seems to be a ten second delay between hitting the keys and execution. All in all using 2.7.3 today is like pouring cornflakes into a Ferrari's gas tank.

Suggestions appreciated.

Configuration:
MAC OS 10.2.1
Power MAC G4 400
Limewire 2.7.3

Nano
