Please help me! trouble with searching audio songs!
 

Hi, im a new user so forgive if this sounds a bit retarded.
But i recently got my computer refreshed so i installed limewire again as the computer guy deleted it, anyway i want to download songs as normal so i click on audio and type in the song i want, however when i search, all the results come up with the video icon instead of the music icon, even though the search is under songs/audio. So all the results are videos and not songs, and i have tried numerous things to type in and they all come up as videos under the ? title thing. Meaning they are videos. I have uninstalled and installed limewire again and still there is the same problem. Please help me with this! does anyone know what i can do to fix this problem?? :(

Hi Lisa.

If you mean they are .mov files, Use your word filter

USE BITZI LOOKUP
when you see a file in search eg.. avi,mpg,mpeg you want
Right click/advanced/look up file with BITZI, if its not reported on leave it, till it is,
Now music, is not so easy,
The Newer they are, the more careful you must be.
The Spam company's are putting swarms of fakes on the network,
Take note of size, Songs less than 2000kb with 128kb bit rate, must be less than two minuets.
THINK!!, how long is the song I'm looking for ?
so what size SHOULD it be,
If it dos'nt have a bitrate! LEAVE it,
Scan every File before OPENING them
Don't D/L exe,rar,zip,or wma files. I am expert at using LimeWire & I don't touch them they are 99.9% viruses.
We only use these for testing anti virus programs.

P.S.. Try typing only the key words of the file, & leave out the small words (small words trigger SPAM results)

P.P.S.. Add these words to your word filter .exe .rar .zip .wma That will stop 50% of crap search results, Don't forget to apply.

To find your Word filter, Go Tools/Options/Filters/Keywords, now type word & click add, then apply.
Peace
