the users guide shows a playlist and how to use it, but on my computer no playlist is available in my library. i dont know how to make it work. HELPP!!! also, my limewire wont even launch a song, i have to go into my folder through the desktop, double click and it opens in quicktime. i want to be able to play it through limewire, and create a playlist.

The Mac version of Limewire doesn't have a player and there is no need of one with iTunes. If you want your mp3's to open in iTunes, see several posts regarding that subject here.

i am having similar problems only i can even lanch a song in the libary and if i doudle click going through the desktop it still dosent start up. so what can i do will i need to down load an independant mp3 player.

If you have iTunes, you already have an mp3 player. What do the icons of the mp3 files look like? Do they look like QuickTime, iTues, or generic white file icons?

Try this: open iTunes. Drag the files you want to hear to the open library window. What happens? If the titles show up, you can play them in iTunes.

On rare occasions, there are mp3 files that iTunes cannot play. Other players such as Audion or SoundJam (if you can find it) sometimes can play them. If not, download another version of the same file.

With earlier versions of LW, I was never able to launch anything but a movie preview which then froze my computer. But that was a long time ago. If you are on an older, slower Mac, however, this might be the problem. There are just not enough computer resources to run Java-bloated LW and an audio program at the same time.
