can u burn cds from limewire?
 
hey- i just started using limewire......i was wondering can u burn cds after u download the songs? and if u can how?
if u can't just tell me that. thx.

wondering why June 10th, 2006 01:17 PM

Yes you can burn cd's.. I personally transfere all my music over to itunes and do it from there, I prefere that to WMP, but you can use that as well...
Nero is another popular choice....;)

chessermom June 10th, 2006 05:45 PM

Can you please tell me how to transfre the files to WMP to burn to a cd? Thanks!

wondering why June 10th, 2006 05:47 PM

You can drag and drop them in to make your playlist...Drag them in from your shared folder outside of Limewire....

chessermom June 10th, 2006 10:16 PM

Thanks!

starz128 June 13th, 2006 04:41 AM

can i do it w/audiocentral player 2?

Lord of the Rings June 13th, 2006 05:08 AM

Probably. See tips here Burning an audio CD from your MP3's

starz128 June 13th, 2006 03:09 PM

yeah i figured out earlier i could! lol

number 18 June 17th, 2006 05:51 PM

hey how do i drg and drop to make a playlist?

IwannaKnow May 29th, 2007 07:56 PM

I need some of these questions answered on account of the fact that limewire's "about" page wasn't very helpful:
1.) Is there 1 flat rate that i pay monthly/yearly, and i can get as many songs as i like, burn them, put them on ipods/MP3s??
2.)Does limewire run off of itunes, napster, yahoo! music jukebox, or any other file-sharing programs?

1.

Limewire Basic is free.

Limewire Pro costs $18.88 USD (one time fee) and this includes 6 months of free updates and customer support.

Yes.

Yes again.

2.

Limewire is part of the gnutella network, which does include other file-sharing programs.

Hope this helps :D

can someone please explain how to make cd's from my downloads on limewire?

birdy June 7th, 2007 07:08 PM

Read post #7 of this thread & click on the blue link that LOTR posted :p

Or, if you're using WMP check out this guide.

hi there, i have just joined and i have been trying all night to find out how. i'll let you know when i find anything out:)

Lord of the Rings June 19th, 2007 05:01 PM

Sure as WW said drag your songs to your music folder in your account folder. or 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.

And Using windows media player

geri1975 June 20th, 2007 10:36 AM

can't play downloaded movies
 
i am new to this site and i have downloaded movies. i can't seem to play them. also i have downloads a pc game how do i play it.

muhctekdano June 20th, 2007 11:33 AM

For movies, we recommend VLC player. It's free and will play almost anything. As for the game, you'll have to figure that one out on your own. There's a good chance it won't even work, as there are many fake programs on the Gnutella network. Be sure and scan the file(s) with an antivirus program before opening. MOST program files are fake, infected, or freeware/shareware.

Good Luck :idea:

Dan

P.S. Try looking for the answer yourself next time. This question has been asked many, many times before. Also, you posted in a thread about music. Next time, start your own thread. Just letting you know. ;)

Remoc June 23rd, 2007 04:32 PM

Diva, I am not 100% on this but I don't think you can burn music cd's with Nero. You might try Itunes or WMP. Hope this helps, and correct me if I'm wrong about Nero and cd's. Thanks

birdy June 23rd, 2007 04:49 PM

You can burn audio CDs with Nero:)
DancingDiva777, you should have read all of this thread:D You need to add songs from your saved folder. Check out this guide.

Thanks Birdy, I did find this which I was totally unaware of . Yahoo! Answers - How can I burn music from limewire.com to CD?

thorn1903 June 29th, 2007 03:05 AM

hi i downloaded the vlc media player like you said so i can watch movies as i download movies and i can't work out how to play them. it doesn't work while downloading or after downloaded. but it still doesn't work with the vlc thing.

Remoc June 29th, 2007 03:32 AM

Sorry Thorn but I don't use VLC. I don't think you should try to watch while downloading though. Wait until it is complete and then try to Launch. If you have VLC set up to play this type of file it should pop up when launched. Hope this helps.

thorn1903 June 29th, 2007 04:03 PM

i downloaded nero and it allows me to watch movies through that. thanks for the help anyway remoc

chiyochan471 October 16th, 2007 07:19 PM

how do I get my downloads off of limewire and onto my shared documents?

Remoc October 16th, 2007 08:01 PM

While in Limewire, Click on library tab. Now click on Explore; bottom left corner. This will take you to your saved/shared folder which is where your files are on the HDD.
You say "off of Limewire"?? You do not want to delete any file from Limewire unless you don't want it anymore. Deleteing files in Limewire will delete file from HDD.

Lord of the Rings October 16th, 2007 09:23 PM

For fast & easy access to your downloads once they have 100% finished downloading, 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. For videos, all you should need to do is double-click them.

To preview incomplete files, they will only preview as much or less than you have downloaded. So if you have downloaded 10% of a 120 minute video, then you will only be able to view 8-12 mins worth. Files that download don't necessarily download from the beginning of the video to the end, but may download part of the beginning, part in middle part near the end, etc. *** -> I would recommend instead of using the Preview button (which creates preview files in your incomplete folder & wastes space on your drive), that instead, you go to your Library window, select Incomplete folder, list the files in alphabetical order by name (press name tab at top of column) & find the video you are wanting to preview. Once found, select it & press the Launch button. This will save you from cleaning out junk preview files from your incomplete folder at a later time. ;) (Preview files are named like this: eg: PREVIEW-0170000-title.mpg)

To set VLC as your default video player, see this link for instructions Setting Default video app

thorn1903 October 16th, 2007 11:00 PM

chiyo if u want to get them out of limewire go to explore like they said and drag the files to where ever u want them. or u can copy paste them using control c, control v on through your taskbar.

Belsiya October 23rd, 2007 10:44 PM

I use Limewire too. I open all of my songs with Winamp (you could use any mp3 player) and then I burn them onto a rewritable CD (CD-RW), then I import the songs to iTunes. Not only are the songs in iTunes, but I also have iTunes set to import songs at 128 kbps. That's CD quality, anything more just wastes space on your hard drive. Then I put them on my iPod. If you used a rewritable CD, you can just erase it when you are done. It can be a pain to do this, but a lot of songs on Limewire are more than 128 kbps

Sorry to correct you but 128 kbps is NOT CD quality. lol :D To understand how mp3's work during encoding, they limit frequency range to below 15 KHz, & often above the lowest frequencies. They reduce size from originals in a number of ways, most of which include throwing away audio information. They attempt to encode repetitious cycles so it's not continually repeated in the encoding process. They often approximate frequencies.

An mp3 file at a lower kbps means a thinning out of the sound. If you have a "very" hi quality sound system (with appropriate hi quality speakers & appropriate settings to suit the room) & play a cd thru it & then compare it with the same songs encoded into 128 kbps, you will notice the difference. If you can't, then your hearing abilities at hearing differences in tone & subtle frequency changes are probably untrained or burnt out. lol :D It is more obvious with some styles of music or songs than others.

Several years ago there was a lot of propaganda about 128 kbps being CD quality because when mp3's first came out that's what their maximum ability was. Unfortunately many audio programs still set 128 kbps as the default setting for audio encoding. In those days people's internet speeds were much slower, & their HDD's were much smaller, so using smaller files to swap across the internet was much more desirable. Before mp3 was mp2. There were some somewhat misinformed/ignorant people who didn't have any audio qualifications who wrote articles saying mp3's at 128 kbps were cd quality. Some even saying they were better than cd quality. lol :rofl: Unfortunately that old propaganda still affects some users nowadays. (If you have an audio editor with a frequency response graph ability, compare the original AIFF/WAV with that of the same song on an mp3 at 128 kbps & you will see where some of the losses occur & how the shape of the music has in fact changed slightly. There will be less audio information for a start, & less subtle frequency peaks & dips along it's trail. The lines will be straighter, signalling less information & approximations made ... eg: combining small frequency changes between 568 kbps, 572 kbps, 558 kbps, 564 kbps ... may all show as 570 kbps in the mp3 over that short time span which might only be 0.01 of a second. Add all those 0.01 secs up on top of each other & you have some notible changes.) mp3's are designed to focus on the mid range frequencies & show most loss at the top & bottom ends (high & low sounds.) That's because most people's ears generally focus on those ranges where voice & higher guitar sounds range in tone. mp3's at higher than 128 kbps try to give more response where the 128 kbps lacks (but still below 15 Kbps) & most likely less approximations.

mp3 is a "lossy" format, meaning it throws away audio information to help reduce file size. Re-encoding an mp3 or mp4 or ogg file to another mp3/mp4, etc. is thinning out an audio file's quality even further. Throwing out even more information. I certainly hope you are not sharing those re-encoded files on Gnutella network but only the originals you downloaded. Otherwise you are degrading the quality of files shared around the network. Would you like to listen to a song that's been re-encoded from mp3 to mp4 to mp3 to mp3 (people changing the kbps each time) ? It will sound crappy I assure you, compared to the original from the CD. (Re-encoding an mp3 from 128 kbps oto 320 kbps will not improve the sound at all! The opposite! Nor will it improve if encoding from 320 down to 128.)

Since you use iTunes, I put you up to this task. Get a cd you have Purchased (not one you have burnt from mp3's.) Convert the songs to AIFF. Then convert the songs to mp3 at 128 kbps. Then listen back to the sound difference between the AIFF files & the mp3's. Listen to the AIFF ones first & 3rd. AIFF is a non compressed audio format (does not throw away audio information.)

Lord of the Rings October 24th, 2007 04:38 AM

I should also point out that there are different qualities between encoders. Some are better than others. The mp3 encoding quality of one player will be different to the next. Thus, you can encode the same file from a cd to mp3 with 2 different programs & notice a small difference in sound & perhaps size also. Generally the newer the encoder the better quality. The reknown best mp3 encoder is LAME.

There is a LAME encoder you can get for iTunes.

To find your shared folder (outside of limewire)...
You will find this folder by clicking on one of your files in your LW library and clicking explore...

Then open up itunes create a new playlist and drag and drop them in...;)
