You have to rip the songs from the CD. Store the songs on your hard drive in a music folder. If you have limewire basic installed all you need to do is go to tools, then options, then check or add a music folder to be shared or, you can move you songs as MP3's and copy them into your limewire shared folder and it will automatically share them. In Windows, your Limewire folders are store in the Documents/settings folder located on your desktop. hope this helps?
