where to save files downloaded ??

I am confused...my dowloaded music files are put into my iTunes playlists
( I set this up successfully)- do I also need to have a file where they are saved on my computer? Currently they are going into a file i set up- but do I need them in both places? if I delete the file I set up will they still be in my iTunes library? i don't want duplicate files if I dont need them in both places!
Thanks- kathy / Limewire lover

Leave the files in your shared folder, if you delete them there gone and itunes uses that folder...

It depends upon whether you have iTunes set to automatically import the files. Check under LW's preferences -> iTunes -> Importing.

But in any case, some files are not copied to iTunes, so it's well worth manually drag & drop the files from your download folder to iTunes to double check. iTunes will not import 2 copies of the same files IF all the details of the file are identical. BTW your download folder is found here -> Go to your LW Library window, select Saved Files folder & press the Explore button. Sample image here: Using Library Explore button to access downld folder (click on link) & the folder will open up for you.

Once you have checked all files have been imported then you can delete those from LW's download folder. However, I would recommend you share our iTunes music folder or parts of so other people may also access your music for download in the same way they have shared with you.
