itunes will not play my downloads
 

i went to preferences and unclicked the box so that itunes would automatically be the default player. it pops up but the songs do not show up. the help menu says something about encoding so that songs not bought from apple wont play. does anyone know a way around this?

if you are downloading .mp3's, you can find the tunes in the iTunes playlist called "LimeWire" You can play them from there. The Help menu item on encoding has to do with songs downloaded from the Apple iTunes Store (.mp4 format) and shouldn't affect the more common .mp3's you add to iTunes from your CD's or other downloads.

Did you mean 'clicked' when you said
"i went to preferences and unclicked the box"?
