Lost Files: itunes it says the file cannot be found
 

I was putting files from limewire onto my itunes and thought that I would save space and delete them from limewire. big mistake, now when i try to play the song in itunes it says the file cannot be found. I am in depserate need of help can someone help me please??!!

IGNORE the LW playlist in iTUnes. That simply reflects what files are sitting in your LW downld folder. What you need to do is manually add the songs to iTunes. How to transfer music to my iPod (& iTunes)

i put the songs onto itunes. they r there. then i went back to limewire and deleted them. now i cannot get them to work on itunes anymore.....i appreciate the help but i guess i don't understand what your saying...

When you download songs using LW, they automatically show up in iTunes under LW's playlist. But the song files themselves are not in the iTunes Music Library folder, they are in the LW download folder. So to add them properly to iTunes, use the techniques described in the link i gave above.

I think you'd find that the songs showed in the LW playlist in iTunes but not the main library list at the top.

your itunes settings
 

i had the same issue. go into your itunes folder and edit>preferences> general check the box that says copy files to itunes music folder. this means after you drag and drop them into itunes, that is their file location as well. i turned it off or awhile on accident then had to go back and dl a bunch of stuff because lw had been where the master file was stored...
