Limewire 5.3.6 .;



can this version play m4a ,
having some problems .

Looks like the answer is no.
I only have LW 5.3.6 installed on Windows 7 and despite having LW set to play audio files, WMP always opens to play an m4a file.

I did a test to change LW to play m4a & it errored with need Java 6. So I set LW.java file to open it & nothing happened when playing from LW's library.
I did a test to change the file extension to mp4 instead & LW thinks it's a video so WMP opened it again.

I checked the changelog & most improvements or bug fixes for the media player were for video. However:
LimeWire 5.6.0 Beta
* Update the audio and video player to handle all codec formats which are available on a system.
This is a problem that's been happening on & off for quite a while. All we can do is apologise.

Still not getting emails when new messages are added to my threads ; any progress on that front .??

With vista , my itunes always opens up to play m4a and then my lw closes down completely ;

luckily the vast majority of my lw songs are mp3 which the built in lw audio player replays without any problem .

Lemonwire is a clone of limewire ; but members using it should ban and block both ,

65.199.18.150 and 65.199.18.142 ;

they are robots downloading hundreds of songs every hour ; genuine members dont get a fair go ;

Well , yes i do always use universal plug and play because all music sharing programs seem to strongly advise it ; they say it makes the whole network more stable and faster ;

from memory the original winmx forum advised me to do some port forwarding , but i just found it so hard and complicated ;

The instructions from the site are: here and below.

1. Look for your password on the bottom of your router or in the paperwork that came with your router. Copy-paste the following number into your browser web address:
10.0.0.138
Press enter.
Then Login with the password from the earlier part of this step.

2. Click the Firewall Settings button which will then be displayed on screen after logging in.

3. Use the Select a computer box to choose a computer to forward ports to. This box contains a list of computer names that are visible on your network. Only one computer connected to the router?

4. Click the Add a new user-defined application link.

5. Add Application name, example: WinMX.

6. Add port number in each of the 'from' and 'to' range boxes. Example, port 38120

7. Choose UDP checkbox.

8. Click Add Definition.

9. Click Back button.

10. Select the application name you just created in the Applications list (WinMx), then click the Add button to move them to the Hosted Applications box.

When you are finished, click the Done button at the bottom of your screen.

Just blocking and banning that one host in message 20 has worked so far ; possibly only for a short while until the bad guys re program their evil robots ;
