ok I don't know who hp is. also I don't know if you are on Windows or Mac. I don't think this is a Limewire problem. I don't know what "this place is 100% iPod compatible means" you say " not a good format and no way to convert them" that has me stumped .... and "Not happy with this place so far and think I got ripped" ... what is that about???

and yet I'm going to try and answer you question ... I think. but I use Mac and my reply may not be apprpriate for a windows user.

My limewire downloads are saved in my iTunes folder and they load into iTunes (usually) automatically, into a playlist called Limewire. These are mp3s I'm talking about. I have certain of my cds in a playlist on iTunes called CDs. I plug my iPod in and it is not big enough to hold all my iTunes tunes, so I get a message asking if I want iTunes to select tunes for iPod. I click No. I select my CDs playlist and my Limewire playlist to load into iPod. I click ok. They both load into iPod end of story.

In windows I believe you may have to manually load the Limewire tunes into iTunes, and possibly you also need to create the Limewire playlist yourself, but maybe they have fixed that now.

I really have no idea if this helps, but I have tried. Limewire support is available for pro users with Limewire problems. I like to think that these forums give better support than a small and overstretched limewire team can, and the huge archive of posts is excellent, and has a search feature to find you're way arond!

I would recommend you to try getting ANY response out of Apple's "lack of helpline service" and totally unfathomable disscussion group set up, so that you might realise how good the Gnutella forums are.

One last point that perhaps you tried to put was that you were trying to use iTunes to convert some file type to another. If there are no tunes highlighted (not just visible) in iTunes the "convert to mp3" option will be greyed out.
