I am new at limewire and LOVE its ease of use, response, selection, compared to morpheus.

I would like to know if I put my mp3 files into my shared folder, then other users can download them, so I can give to the system as well as taking, and if they download, if it will monitor as an upload on my side.

I do not know my IP address (00.00.0..000) or whatever. I must have one if I am writing this message right?

Also, I am wondering what programs are most popular for ripping to mp3?

Lastly, on a related topic I would like to know if anybody knows of a way to find what format a specific file is from windows PC. (mp3,wma, wav, etc.) It's not under properties.

Sorry about all the mini-questions.
