How do I play downloaded files on my Mac?
 

I have iTunes, Quicktime & Audion. I can downlaod files OK. But how do I transfer my downloads from my linewire library to a player? I never had this problem w/Napster.

how do I play downloaded files on my mac
 

This is the same problem I have. I also cannot open or play downloaded files. I wonder how long it takes before anyone from Gnutella will help us out. I wonder if they read these messages.

I use LimeWire on my iMac. When I'm finished downloading an mp3 file, it has an iTunes icon. I just drag it into the iTunes music folder, open up the iTunes and go to the library. Go under "File" -> "add to library" -- follow the path to the song you want to add, select the song. It's now in your iTunes player ready to play.

When I downlaod a file it does not have an iTunes icon. What am I missing? Do I have the wrong LineWire software? If so, how do I download the proper iMac program? Please be specific. Thanks!!!

you can get the itunes associator at versiontracker.com.

it works

I downloaded itunes associator 1.6 OK. Then I went to my LineWire Library. Still no iTunes icon. I then stupidly took my iTunes Player w/Library & put it on the LimeWire icon. LineWire sucked it up. At that point I couldn't find iTunes anymore. I then threw the empty iTunes icon into the trash. I tried to take it out but couldn't. A window popped up which said "You cannot replace the folder iTunes because a folder cannot be replaced by a file." What does this mean?
I then went to Sherlock and found a alias iTunes which works. My questions are:
1. Can I get iTunes out of the trash? If so, how?
2. How do I get everything to work?
3. Should I throw everything away & start all over again?
Please be specific. THANKS AGAIN!!!!

if you have a "my mp3" folder on your desktop....drag that into the download area.....right where it says "where to download"

Wow you guys are funny. Its like you all are so dependabt upon this music downloading phenomenon. Ya, but eversince napster got ****ed all of us kinda had to find something new. yeah but this is just ****in stupid. All these sites have you guys runnin around looking for the answer to your problems, seriously just go to audiogalaxy or eblvd.com and use their systems cause they don't have gliches and you get what you need in what ever versions available. **** the rest of this ****.

Yes they have, but not for the Mac!!!

this entire forum helped me SO much! I couldn't play my music and that note with setting up to itunes - great! I figured out what I did wrong - When installing, it asked if it should check the hard drive to find other music things - i said no - BIG MISTAKE when i reloaded it, it found itunes and i checked that for sharing.

thanks again
