Are you aware that with the LW 4.1.5 beta you can do direct connects! You can also add ips in the connection window. Admittently I never had great success with it b/c I am on a dial-up connection so I'm at an immediate disadvantage.

lol true the good old traditional search never goes astray. Direct connect can work if you get good connections & have good connection type. I guess.

LW is able to differentiate b/w different file types. Be it music it'll categorise it as music, be it a picture (eg-jpg) it'll cat it as a pic, & so on. For mp3's you can add xtra info to them (id tag info) that'll help people locate them & know moe about the song. Yes LW can detect mp3 tag info & is effective when searching for mp3's; eg- the song's year, artist, song title, genre, album, track, comments, anything that's been added to to id tag.
However to search for a particular category of file then you should utilise LW's search options.

I did forget to respond to this. And from previous experience I can definitely verify it is true. If 'both' parties try in particular, there's no reason for not obtaining success. Obtaining success is the ultimate goal. So making sacrifices initially to obtain that initial success will give you confidence upon how to achieve it in future. 2 good connections should have more confidence.
