Some people seem to be able to drag songs from their LW library into their players & have no problems. Others have to have to add from their shared folder, rather than LW's library. But once you've got your My Computer page open, you can open your saved folder, minimise it (click on the little icon with 2 pages together in the top right corner, next to the close page icon) & that way you'll have both pages open for dragging into your player.

I'm trying that right now but LW is telling me "need more sources" or Waiting on host".

your my puter trick worked now I'm just trying to get them downloaded so I can try the drag and see if it works. I really appreciate your patience and help.I'll let you know as soon as I get the downloaded. I guess the server is just busy.

Try a new search. There's no central server, you're downloading from other peoples' computers, so sometimes a new search can bring up new results (as some people shut their LW down, other people log on & so the files available are constantly changing).

I opened my computer like you said, found the mp3 player. It will not let me drag and drop into it. I tried mp3 files and wma files and neither worked, however I can do the same thing by opening my windows media player and draging the songs into the "sync" block. So either way you have solved my problem.
again I really appreciate your help and just to make you feel better I hate these dang things but they have become a necessary evil. Sorta like cell phones.
Later,

must be late, my spelling was awful.

Glad you worked it out. Hope I didn't confuse you too much (it was too early in the morning here).

Just a tip...an easy way to get hold of that saved folder (where LW's downloads are saved) is to make a shortcut to your desktop. All you have to do is go to LW's library > click on Saved Files > click Explore...folder opens.

Now, once the folder's open, click on the little folders icon (up the top, next to search). Then on the left hand side, you'll see a list of folders & the one you have open will be highlighted. Right click on that highlighted folder & choose 'send to' & then choose 'desktop (create shortcut).

Then you have all your saved songs easily available...whether LW's open or not.

got it. thanks again and i think I'm really talking to Mr. Bill Gates...
you sure know your stuff.
i'm envious..
