I would love to be able to save playlists. My library is quite extensive, its a pain to have to go through it every time I want to listen to music. Also, I like to open my playlists in my windows media player because if I have any other windows open, the limewire media player skips

I believe playlists will be returning in the next release of LW 5, however that might not be for another couple of months.
Alternative in meantime is to downgrade to LW 4. Lime Wire » Download Out-Of-Date Installers, which did have a save playlist option.

I am so happy you told me about the downgrade. I didn't think that was possible. Color me happy, I can jam again. Thankyou.

I don't remember whether I raised this concern/made this suggestion before.
I wish there were an option in Limewire whereby users could make corrections to song titles and artist names. There are a lot of songs with simple errors in their titles, songs that are identified as a completely different songs, and songs with incorrect performers' names attached. I recall once being able to contact a host and informed him/her of the errors on some tracks he/she was sharing. He/she responded, "I don't know what they are. I just download and share." Actually, he/she admitted he/she had never even heard of the songs I was talking about. Makes for a lot of wasted time downloading incorrect stuff.

Are you asking for a feature where you could rename files on other people's machines (and they could rename files on your machine)?

Cheers,
Michael

I think I'm asking for the impossible. I know that asking for access to others pc's would be out of the question, but there should be some mechanism whereby corrections can be made, or sharers could be notified of an error. There are countless errors, especially with older music. Even if we could have a central contact whom we could notify and they in turn could advise the song poster of their error. I realize this might be very difficult, because there could be multiple postings of the same error. And I know from experience that a lot of users don't listen to, verify or even know what they are downloading/sharing. But it happens a lot, and it's frustrating to have to download something, find out it is incorrect, delete it, find another copy and redownload. And if more than one sharer has perpetuated the same error, lot of time can be wasted.

Please add your request as replies to this thread, in a concise manner. If you want to discuss a feature in detail, please do so in another thread.

Thanks very much.

- Option for the maximum simultaneous transfers of a single file, preventing a file from taking all upload slots.

- Reorganize preferences: No more firewall option, rename port to firewall, the search option (limit, speed, quality) removed, no more compression option, no more out of band option.

- New system of requeries [not going to happen any time soon]

- A file rating system, allowing users to collectively rate fake/garbage/good/excellent files.

- Browse clients other than LimeWire from upload window

- Allow browsing firewalled hosts

- Use NIO to take up less resources/RAM

- Client side queueing of multiple requests to a single source

- Remember advanced stats checkbox between launches

- Remember preferred sort order between launches

- Ability to clear existing sort on a table.

- Explore button on download page

- A private folder accessable only by trusted users

- Allow certain files/folders to get preferred status in upload slots

- An option to connect to fewer ultrapeers when acting as a leaf

- A mailto button for formatting & sending magnet links

- Multiple download folders for different types of downloads

- Sharing of portions of iTunes selections by choosing a playlist

- An edit menu (and ability to copy/select any displayed text)

- Ability to send download filename in search box.

- A mini LimeWire to handle magnets

- A window menu to bring chat/options/stats/main window to the foreground

- Browse host to display results with directory structure like in the library

- Drag & Drop support

- Monitor pane moved

- Bandwidth status displayed in the GUI at all times.

- Searching for phrases together, using "LimeWire Rocks" and finding only results where LimeWire Rocks, instead of limewire on the rocks.

- Seekable media player.

- Symbol next to the 'X' on search tabs to show the context menu.

- Re search for corrupt files automatically. (Should be taken care of already with TigerTree support, actually.)

- Recently searched drop down box.
I have been buying your software, I want to connect as an ultrapeer not a leaf

You can connect as an UP providing that you...

- have a reasonably fast connection

- aren't firewalled (tools > advanced tools & you'll see whether you're behind a firewall)

Staying connected to the network for a long time (high uptime) can also help.

If you meet that criteria, the network will choose you to be an UP when UPs are needed

If you're showing as behind a firewall, you can give us your system details & we might be able to help out with that issue: System details - help us to help you -> Provide these details when you post!!!

There isn't a great advantage to connecting as an UP... you might see a small difference in search results (as UPs connect to a greater number of other UPs & leaves than a leaf). But on the other hand, in my experience UPs tend to see fewer uploads than a leaf.

Both help the network in different ways... UPs by devoting bandwidth to handling more search traffic (& shielding leaves from unnecessary traffic) & leaves by devoting bandwidth to uploads.

Re: "Hello grampy17 it appears that you have not posted on our forums in several weeks,".

No use posting again until I ever see a reply to my post of December 3, 2009

grampy17

What you are asking for is impossible because there is no central system or control for the files you download.

The way things are, with the authorities in most western countries, any central system would be closed down and the administrators, of that system, would be fined and thrown in jail for copyright violations.
