new gizmos on lw
 

hey ppl and limewire staff when r u going to add a cd/dvd burn addon to limewire be above the rest and make limewire the best,,,o yer the player on limewire needs to be upgraded its a bit crappy and if u use ur own player u got to wait 4 it to load ,and how about a preview icon 4 music.. and could ppl make there movie files into a format so i can just burn them on a dvd and watch .o and thanks limewire iu do have the fastest p2p network well for music u do. is there any othere p2p network that u can download movies on that is fast , but i will never swop my limewire for any othere p2p in ref to music downloads

That is a good suggestion. I have been thinking of that also, since the lw media player sucks. By the way, you can preview music by clicking launch.

Also, it would be handy to be able to burn cd's and dvd's on lw.

how about limewire add a top 10 downloads icon

Converting a movie file into DVD format takes a whole chunk-a-time and eats up a lot of CPU. For some people LW already uses up quite a bit of CPU (like, say, Mac users with the crappy Java implementation that Apple is forcing us to use...). I personally wouldn't like to have two such processes going on at the same time on my comp: it would quite surely be stuck for eternity (and a day)

And, although a top ten dlds wouldn't be bad, I figure (as a non-programer) that LW would either have to use some bandwidth to make stats in each machine (=Gnutella slows down) or there would be a central server or something which would make these stats and distribute them to the net. Plus, I figure that these stats would either change at the speed of light or just be plain "arbitrary" (=wrong).

I don't believe the people at LimeWire intend to implement everything but the kitchen sink in their software. - And if they tried that, it would most definitely suck.

There is already really good software to burn CDs/DVDs, try looking at http://www.download.com

Also, don't confuse LimeWire with a regular media player, LimeWire's player is not really meant to compete against stand-alone media players, - try iTunes:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

It is difficult to gather the top-10 downloads information in the client. And I for one wouldn't like LimeWire to keep track of what files the user downloads.
