Music Sharing in Windows Mediaplayer
 

How can I share all my music in WM with Limewire. I collect music and have about 500 CD's and I would like to share them with the Limewire people.
I would have liked to rip directly to Limewire.:)

For your own safety we don't allow emails to be posted in public.

All you need to do is rip them into any folder (I'd recommend your My Music folder in your account folder or else the Music Folder at the top level.) Then share this folder. See How to Share Folders (click on link)

When you rip the music, choose mp3. Don't use wma because many people block or filter out wma files. Also disable licencing in your wmp options. Go to WMP's menu bar, Tools>Options>Copy Music I think it is & choose mp3 format under copy settings before ripping. Recommended ripping bitrate nowadays is 192 kbps or higher CBR or VBR.

My Music folder is found here C:\Documents and Settings\user name\My Documents\My Music

BTW if you don't have mp3 format option, you can download it from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...cdownload.aspx Or better http://www.free-codecs.com/download/...er_3_Codec.htm which also lists other format encoders. ;)

Thank's for this information, I will go ahead and try your solution.
