Another good reason to post in an area relevant to your topic.

I would have sworn the 9 version had the built in mp3 player, but then, I hardly use 9 any more. Just working from memory, which apparently is not as good as I remember.
Hello!

I think that the LimeWire team once had plans to incorporate the mp3 player in LW for Classical Mac OS but that those plans where dropped when Apple released iTunes and suddenly Macintosh Mac OS 9.X users had a superior option. iTunes is built by the same team that built the original Sound Jam player which was considered the best mp3 decoder and player that existed at that time for any platform and iTunes is based on the same decoder and core. So we Mac users are lucky in this aspect and generally share good quality mp3 files over Gnutella since they where created using iTunes which has one of the best decoders around built in to it and it is so simple to use. So there is no reason at all for the LW team to build a built in mp3 player that would just be considered far inferior. Personally I think it is totallyt uneccessary for both the PC version and the Mac OSX version aswell since theses days there is alot better options available to play the music.
