Hi rwnugent .. glad I sent you off on a voyage of discovery ..! sorry I was much too tired last night to think straight!

You can not share tunes bought from the apple music store as you rightly guess they are protected. In iTunes you can right click on the bar at the top of the tunes , select "Kind" from the menu, click on the resulting "kind" column and all your protected tunes will be listed together. I always ensure I do not try to share these.

um..... when you select songs to share in limewire you do not actually copy them to Limewire, as in duplicate them, you just create a path so LW knows where to find them if you understand me.

LOTR and others on the forumare apt to loose it at times as I did last night. The reason that there are so many threads on subjects is chiefly because nobody reads the stickies, and instead yet another thread is created. I guess someone could go throught he forum and delete all the dead wood, but I can tell you for sure, I'm not volunteering ... I'm afraid it is a bit of a catch 22 type situation... the more people who posts questions ( and I know for sure your question has been asked many times and answered), the more difficult it becomes to find the answers, but the answers are all there. The people on the forums who try to help are pretty well used to searching for stuff on a regular basis so we know it can be done
