first I have to say I really appreciate the responses of people trying to help me. Before I deleted all the limewire stuff I copied all my song files to a different new folder. Then I uninstalled and deleted everything that said limewire including hidden files and folders and stuff in the recycle bin. Then I reinstalled and durring the install wizard I chose me new folder as the location but when it opens it still freezes up, right at the point where it says "loading messages" a window pops up that says "your save folder is invalid..." and then the green limewire box it just stuck there saying "loading messages" and the only way to get rid of it is to shut down my computer.
Originally, when I first installed limewire, before I had any of this trouble, the save folder was just whatever default folder that limewire chose. At some point, that folder must have gotten too full or I don't know how it happened but limewire started saving my files to a different folder so I had 2, one was old songs and one was new songs and all new songs automaticly went into the new folder. But When I got my new ipod, I was concerned about how to get all my songs into the new iTunes library cuz I had never done it before. I moved all the new songs and old songs into a new folder together and deleted the old folders. Then when I installed the new itunes it copied all me songs in twice so I guess I didn't have to do any of that and then I had to go and delete every other song that was a double. Then I tried using limewire for the first time since the new ipod and that's when all the trouble started.
anybody know of any other good sites or programs I can try using in the meantime to get songs?
