Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Unhappy Limewire default player for audio files

Can somebody help me?
I've been racking my brains trying to think of how to fix a problem with my i-tunes.
I need to change the settings so that my limewire isn't the default player for audio files, so that I can make i-tunes the default player and therefore automatically add them to my library once played.

Please help?

Which ooperating system are you using, mac or windows?
It shouldn't be necessary. iTunes will accept almost all mp3's. See http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=36230 about how to get them into iTunes.

If you really want to change the files' default then see Setting Default video app & apply the same idea except using mp3, m4a, etc.

I'm using windows.
Ok, I just thought that rather than having to drag songs I download into my i-Tunes library that I could make i-Tunes the default player for all of my songs and therefore automatically add them to the library like say winamp does.
I'm not sure if i-Tunes can do this but I thought it would be handy if it could. Seeing as though when I double click a song in lime wire it plays through lime wire I thought that it must have been the default player for audio files.

My i-Tunes is set to be the default player but it doesn't work that way when I play from limewire.

While you're here :P Helping me, I have a folder in my i-Tunes that is titled" limewire tunes" and it has all of the songs that I download from limewire in it.
Is there any way that I can get the songs that I download into limewire to automaticall sync with my i-Tunes library and simply add the recently downloaded songs, rather than having to drag them one by one if i-Tunes could just update itself according to new files added to the "limewire tunes"

Sorry for the loooong reply and confusion if I have caused any :P

When I do what is suggested in that other thread, "files, add folder to library" it adds all of the songs in that file rather than just ones that aren;t already in my i-Tunes library

The list of LW songs in iTunes is simply a playlist. The songs themselves don't exist within iTunes's Music Library which is what you want. So there are various techniques to get the songs into iTunes. By the sounds of it you either didn't understand the techniques described in the above link I gave you or you didn't read thru it. (Oh & just because LW's playlist is in iTunes, don't confuse with thinking the songs exist in iTunes Music Library & then delete the songs. Remember that is simply a playlist which points to the location of the songs which is in your LW downld folder.) You need to add them but see the many techniques from the link above.

You can add them directly from LW's Library window if you want to. Just drag & drop into iTunes library.

The reason LW's media player plays when you play a song from LW is that you have the LW player enabled. If you'd prefer to disable it so your default player (iTunes) plays them instead, then go to your LW menu Tools>Options>Player & untick option box & press apply. However this won't take effect until next time you open LW.

No I did understand all of the techniques listed in the link you provided me with.
I just thought that there might have been a way that I could add a folder to my i-Tunes library (the folder which I download to) and have it automatically update and sync with i-Tunes everytime I download a new song, rather than having to drag and drop from LM into i-Tunes every time I download a new song.

I only thought this was possible because with the program I use for my MD it does this, you choose which folders your songs are put into and add them to the library and then everytime you open the program the folder and library has been updated with new songs that you've downloaded.

I don't have a problem getting songs into i-tunes I just thought there was a quicker way that's all.
Thanks for your help.
-Sarah
