m3u files are simply playlist files. They don't contain music but are reference files that point to where the music files are.

Your music will be wherever you downld it to. By default this is C:\Documents and Settings\"your account name"\Shared
Unless you changed the location. For fast & easy access, go to your LW Library window, select Saved Files folder & press the Explore button. Sample image here: Using Library Explore button to access downld folder (click on link) & the folder will open up for you.

If your music is all over the place & you have playlists with music from different locations, then it depends on the program you're using to play them. Certainly some will probably give you the option to resave those files or whatever. But I don't recommend resaving mp3 files as mp3's. That will result in a loss of quality.

As far as posting music on a website, it depends upon local laws as to the legal situation; re: hosting copyright material.

The icon represents the default player for that type of file. You can change it in windows.

Why doesn't all the results from my search show up? For example if I search for a particular song, it will come up with, say, 200 results, but I can only browse thru, let's say, 15. Hello to all. I am brand new to LW. Lois

Converting files has bedeviled me for a long time. My downloads of video clips has been restricted to mpegs without the appropriate converters. I would especially liike to view .mov and .avi files. All converters seem to be pay. Are there any reliable inexpensive (i.e. free) ones? This seems to be the only thread on converting files. Have I missed any others or helpful subjects?

Thanx in advance, Mykeel
