Hello everyone

[Baronstoneybroke]

Hello, My name is Jim and I am a pensioner type of computer nut. I have used Limewire for quite a while now but I am experiencing trouble with connecting. Don't know why, it has just stopped connecting. I will post on the trouble forum o try to sort it out but nothing so far works. Granddaughtergetting very as she cannot get any music.

I have made sure no firewall is running but the icon shows that there is one. I don't get it. It still says trying to connect after a while running. I am on XP. I have a router but this rig is connected through it by a cable. The router is for the laptop.. I have AVG and Ad-aware, both up to date and I have used them for years. Zonealarm is Limewire enabled.

On a coworkers suggestion I started using Limewire and it works very well to download music HOWEVER I need help getting the downloaded music in the Limewire Library into my Sansa Express mp3 player. Can someone lend a hand or direct me to the correct forum.

Thanks,
Sid

A bigto you to Sidney18...

Try this...
Firstly plug in your mp3 player....

Go to your shared folder outside of limewire, to find this folder you need to select a file from your LW library and hit explore....

Now you should have a window that contains all your downloaded files...
(you can close LW down now if you want)

Right click on one of your mp3s

select send to

select the drive that your mp3 player is pluged in to (ie mine is E drive)
