Depending on the id3tags users put on their files, sometimes these fields appear empty. I use version 2.3, and I know that 1.1 seems to work also, 2.2 does not seem to work correctly and a lot of users use that. It is also the default for iTunes which is a pain, but it is easy to convert your entire iTunes library in a fairly short time. (which does not help you I know!)

Am I right in thinking you are getting a list of results in name column the main search page, but nothing in the Artist/album/title page. If so this is, as I have said, due to the way sharers are tagging their files and there is nothing that LW can do about it.

I hope this answers your question, otherwise, we'll have to try again

My inclination would be to delete the LW preferences folder. I gather that this cures many such problems but it's not something I have done myself. It may be worth a try.

I was hoping you woud'nt ask that! On Mac it is /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire

and on windows there is a file called .limewire in preferences I believe. Perhaps you should await confirmation on that.

You must do the delete while Limewire is closed.
