Is there anyway to access just a raw mp3 file on my comp like you could with v4?

Sorry - I'm not sure what you mean. There's no difference between LW 4 & LW 5 if you choose to download a .mp3 file

Do you mean that you don't see file extensions in your search results, so you can't pick .mp3 from .wma or .m4a etc??? If that's what you mean then see this thread: File Extensions in LimeWire 5
Just switch to Classic View, choose Audio category, right click the column header & enable Extension (& whatever other info columns you want to see).

LW 5 lets you have songs automatically transfer to iTunes. In LW tools > options > downloads. Tick 'add audio files I downloaded from LimeWire to iTunes > ok.
Once the download's finished in LW, iTunes will open & you'll see the file being added to iTunes.

See whether this thread helps: If LW 5 Will Not Connect
