Organizing in LimeWire library
 

so ive got about 500 songs and a couple of movies in my labrary on LimeWire. I have found out the hard way, if i delete a song it is wiped off my h/d aswell. Now, i wish to download more songs, am i cursed to haing the new downloads mixed in with the current downloads? can i make files for each download session. when i wish to move my music to my ipod, must i dig thru and select the new music mixed in with the old music?

thanks jim

Some of us use iTunes. So the files are added to iTunes (if you use windows you must manually add them), & then add the songs to iPod from iTunes. I share my iTunes so the iTunes Music Library is visible in the LW Library window. To get an idea, see these links iTunes shared library, & this one Albumwrap/iTunes

When I add music to iTunes, I arrange the folder by date, so the newest is at the top of the folder. Also, iTunes will not re-add the same file "if" everything about the file is identical & that includes name, size, id3 tag, etc. Likewise, you can organise iTunes library by date added. To do that you choose show date added from edit>view menu, then click on the top of that date added column to organise them thus.

Sure, wait for the next official release of LW or else, get the LW beta now http://www.limewire.com/english/content/beta.shtml

If deleting from the Library, the files will go to the trash/recycle bin, instead of being automatically deleted.

If you're using iTunes, you should know by now how to add them properly. Drag & drop them onto the iTunes music/Library icon at the top of the playlists so that iTunes will add them to its own music library. After you've succeeded once, you will never look back.

Or did I misunderstand your question/problem?
