sharing issues / file formats
 

Mac os9.2.2 cable running LW 3.0.1

Limewire is not listing some files as shared in the total count or the window list. Is there a memory issue, file type, minimum size, end tag or what? does anyone else have this issue. Specifically the files are system 7 sound format files and some of my MP3 files which play fine in itunes. I'm sure there are other files I just don't want to look.

Second, I d/l mp3 files and LW tells me they are corrupted but I download them anyway and they seem fine.

odd..:confused:

Hi
 

In order to share a file, Limewire must recognise the type of file that is to go through the hashing process. If the file suffix is not on the approved list, Limewire will not process it and offer it for sharing. If the relevant files are music files, you should change or add a .mp3 suffix to each file and that should do the trick.

Frequently, the corruption detected is in the title or is relatively insignificant (being detected only as a discrepancy in the internal verification against the metadata model rather than as a major audio fault). The moral is always to listen to each file and make a decision as to whether you can bear to listen to it as it stands. If it is actually corrupted and would drive the average listen nuts, please remove it from your shared file to prevent it from being passed on to anyone else.
