my limewire worked perfectly fine until today. forgive me if I posted in the wrong place, and redirect me if so.

Okay...so, this is a little bit odd.
Today I was listening to music on limewire when the music just stopped. Funny. I looked, the indicator told me that the song was still playing. Maybe it was my headphones? Nope!
This is a couple hours after and it still doesn't work.
The indicator tells me now that the song hasn't even started. I've made sure I've launched it, paused it, unpaused it, restarted limewire multiple times, and that's all i really know how to do.
Please please help me.

Are you using the LW player? If so, try using a different one. LW's player tends to skip, pop, and generally mess up, especially if your using your computer for other things while your playing files.

Open LW and go to Tools>Options>Player, untick the box by "Use LimeWire Media Player" > Apply > OK. Your songs will now launch in your default player.

I use winamp but there are plenty of others out there. A good backup player is VLC media player, it has the codecs built in and will play most file types.
