i tried posting on the audacity forum but got no replies. so i tried to import an audio file (MP3) from limewire into audacity to convert it to wav and a message pops up and says that it cant be imported because it contains links to other files and that i could use a text editor to download the actual files. can anyone help me with this?

Thx in advance.

Sounds like a dodgie file to me (links) sounds dangerous.
Any action you want to perform should be done from the windows folder
not inside L/W Library, Highlight the file in library and press explore bottom
left thats the download folder on your computer, Work from there.
Oh! dont forget to check all files you download with A V program.
Peace.

OK
With limeWire open, at the top of the page click on the Library Tab
then highlight the file you wish to convert, Look down bottom left corner
of L/W page Press Explore, That should take you to Windows Folder on your
computer, outside of L/W. Work from there.

Why would you want a text editor for a MP3 music file, its not TEXT
unless its a fake or something even more nasty
Sorry ive got flue is that better my heads thick.
Peace.
