Hello Group,

I am currently using Limewire v5.1.12. What were you thinking? I do not think there needs to be a share with friends, or email connection in this software. You should have put your efforts into designing search features, downloading and uploading faster. What happened to sqearching by album? What happened to searching for artist? These are not availabel as you may think. There are some files that appear when attemptign to do specific search that make no sense.

I do agree with some of these users that LW v4 had a better search feature and that is what you shoudl have worked on and not adding email and friends.

Also, I have tried several times to write to this group and no response. I am hoping for better this time around. When you pay for money for a service getting a reply to questions should be expected.

Have a good weekend.

If you want to give feedback about LW 5, post over at the LW forums. The developers will see your post there (the helpers here are volunteers - we don't work for LW) There's a section for comments about LW 5. LimeWire Forums

You can search by artist or album in LW 5. Click on the All button > Advanced Search. If you click on Audio, you'll see text fields for Title, Artist, Album, Genre etc. And if you just do a general search, you can refine the results to show only the artist or album that you're interested in. Once the search is underway, type the artist or album into the 'Refine Results' text field... then only those results will show.

If you're seeing spam files in your searches, check out this thread for info about adding words to LW's keyword filter & lots more general info: How to find music
