I presume you're refering to LW's library & not iTunes' music library? Are you using iTunes? Which version of Java & LW are you using? after adding the songs to iTunes, what is the song name like, normal or as you described? Also in iTunes, select one of those songs & get information (command-i or control-i) & check to see if the name is listed & if it's the same. I have seen songs before that have the incorrect filename but the mp3 id3 tag shows up correctly. Also, are you refering to mp3's, m4a, mp4, wma, or ?

actually, it's stored that way in the "My Documents/My Music" file that way, and I'm pretty sure then that it's how my folder's naming them. I have changed the view and added the "Title" be added to the list, so this helps that I can now aqt least see the title, but I have to do this every time i open the folder. it doesn'[t stay that way when you exit and re-enter. but i i change it in My Music, then it shows up in I Tunes and Limewire that way, but why would it be using these characters to name the songs at all? I don't understand it. Any help; anyone? Ever seen this b4? thanks

I get those random nonsense letters whenever I defrag my iPods (I have two such devices- a shuffle and a nano), but I mostly ignore them, because my iPod nano will tell me what I have on it. The only problem I have is that the songs I get from LW don't automatically go to my iPod, so I have to manually import the songs from the My Music folder on my computer. Other than that, I can listen to any song that I have on LW on my iPod.
