I use roxio easy cd creator for burning cds after i get my songs from lime wire. I usually save a few projects incase i want to burn another copy of that cd for someone else. Today i started deleting old projects of songs. After i did that, i went into the shared folder and just about all my songs were gone except for about 4 or 5 of them. I don't know where the rest went to? I didn't delete them from the shared folder but deleted them from the audio cd creator program.

I was going to start all over downloading the same songs that i didn't get a chance to burn yet, but when i go to download those files, it tells me those files are already existing, but i don't know where, they aren't showing in my shared folder anymore. Just hoping that someone knows what i'm talking about and could help me with my problem, thanks.

Use your computer's search to look for one of the file names. If the search finds them, make a note of their new location. Maybe you've moved them out of your shared folder without meaning to

I found one file in a different area, when i open it, it opens up my playlist of those songs on windows media player. I just want to know how i go about getting those songs back into the shared folder? In the past i did delete some song files but i guess they didn't get deleted from the computer, in some way i'm glad, when i opened up windows media player and clicked on library, every song i downloaded is on there, i just want to know how to transfer them back into the shared folder on lime wire.

If your songs are in the WMP library (not just m3u playlist files, but the mp3 files) then you should be able to move them back into your shared folder.
Have you had a look in your LW saved folder (remember you can have a saved folder, for saving downloads, as well as different folders being shared)?

If all you can find are playlist (m3u) files, your mp3 files might have been deleted by mistake? If it turns out that you have deleted them (it happens), see the thread below for some file recovery advice

you beat me Grandpa! And yes, I know there's a line under this text but I can't get rid of it!!!!

Just because they are on the play list doesn't mean they are there. It just means they are on the play list have you tried play any of the songs you deleted.

The songs i've deleted won't play, but other songs still work. I'm still confused as to what originally happend though. On the cd creator thing, i had projects saved of songs already burned to cds. I had each project labled such as, cd 1, cd 2, cd 3,...etc. I didn't delete all those projects, but for some reason it didn't matter, just about most of the songs disappeared from the shared folder except for about 4 of them and i didn't even go into the shared folder to click on deleting the files. Alot of new songs i didn't get a chance to burn yet vanished from the shared folder. The only place i found just about all the songs and extras was in the windows media player in the library. Is it possible to get them back into the shared folder?

Nevermind about what i said, i just found them in shared documents when i opened one file up. I just didn't recognize it as a music file, but i still need to know how to put the shared documents into lime wire so the songs will upload and show up in the shared explore file.

See How to Share Folders (click on link). BTW they should already be within the Shared folder.
