Can't extract songs to the mp3 player, no shared file

With the program, there is no shared file to move music to player to be transfered to mp3 player. Where do I go to get the files?

Maybe sticking this will help...

i think i might have the same problem..

i downloaded limewire this morning and i'm used the program before. but this time, when i look in the library, there is only an incompleted folder there. when i open the program i use to make cd's, i CAN find the shared folder, but i don't understand why it's not in limewire?! help me out..

Please read the preceding posts.

i have a completely different problem though because i can't listen to any of the music i download in limewire.. i have to open other programs to hear the music. and same goes with viewing videos that i download.. i would have to open so many other programs that it'll make my computer slower and sometimes freeze..

i just want my "shared" folder IN library IN limewire. and i can't get it there=/

LimeWire's integrated mp3 player is a piece of junk anyway. You'll have fewer distortions and blips and crap when you use native player software (winamp, xmms, itunes, whatever).

LimeWire can't play videos anyway. To add your shared folder to your library read the posts above.

Kreiger88, thanks for your help with blocking unwanted leech vendors.

However, with your download

(http://mitglied.lycos.de/mdsgeist/LimeWire.zip)

I now no longer have all the search options, e.g. album, genre, etc., only 'filename'.

Does this matter or are these multi-search options just put in one search string anyway?

btw, what exactly does your tag mean?

Tja, Sie sind und bleiben eben eine Frau!

Also check to see what that box says on the "sharing' option. I'm sure that if you get those two directories in sync, all will be good in your filesharing world!

I KNOW WHERE MY FILES ARE GOING! THEY ARE GOING TO PROGRAM FILES! HOW DO I GET THE TO THEN GO INTO MY LIBRARY ON LIMEWIRE?PLEASE HELP!

Read what you just quoted VERY CAREFULLY. All you need to know is there.

plz if ur not sure of something dont say it.....krieger!!

tiff, u either have to upgrade to 2.2 which is free or u have go delete 2.2 and reinstall it...correctly.

limewire will play anything, u just have to download a couple of codecs from 3ivx.com, there u can read all about how divx doctor will help u play any movie files u want. u'll have to convert them after download though, which is what divx doctor does.

plz if ur not sure of something dont say it.....krieger!!

look in windows then shared, your music should be there

Sorry for cross-post, but I think some of the seeming illiterates may be runnning into a real problem that I've been having since downloading windows media player 9. Suddenly, all sub-folders of Program Files (thus the default shared/library directory) are set to read-only, so LimeWire won't let you save files to the default shared directory. I didn't touch limewire, and suddenly it's saving to user-specific "my files" directories, but still sharing from the now read-only shared dir.

Worse, the read-only permission setting can't seem to be unset (I try, and it just reverts to read-only). I could set LimeWire to use a desktop folder for sharing/saving, but that seems like a hack (and I don't really want to move gigs of files either... fragmentation much?).

Long story short, it's a very real possibility that people are simply unable to set their save and shared directories to be the same location due to a windows media player-caused permissions problem (I should say "apparently WMP9-caused," but I've read enough posts about it here and elsewhere that I'm pretty sure this is not a coincidence).

I'm terrified of uninstalling WMP9, since last time I uninstalled such an embedded MS product, I got the blue screen of death.

HELP!!!
