limewire to itunes problem

[imfrom210texas]

I recently downloaded both limewire and Itunes. I can dL songs from Limewire, but when I try to transfer to Itunes, it won't register.. I mean, it shows the + (plus) sign when I drag it over to the Itunes screen like it's going to add it, but it doesn't actually add it. Any ideas??

Take it out of your downloads folder (Or wherever limewire stores it automatically on your computer) Move it to you C:\Users\Yourname\Music folder, then drag it from that folder to your iTunes. Atleast that's what worked for me.

go to your options in itunes and select to add a folder and select your limewire folder and it works

when you plug in you ipod to the computer, your ipod should show up under devices and when you open that,theres list of options, be sure to check off the one that says "manually manage music and videos". then sync your ipod and that should work, if it doesnt, you might need to restore your ipod and try again. (this help came from my daughter Im a noob when it comes to Ipod)

tried this right now, but nothing happened at all.. I used to just drag and click, but had to reboot my cpu a while back (this process deleted all my songs). This is the first time I'm trying to transfer files since then, but maybe I should try to download a newer version of Itunes?? I just dl'd the Limewire, so I know this version is current

Thats the way i have always done it with itunes... I would suggest reinstall of iTunes and try again...

lol that's not even the problem being discussed..

you need to move them from your shared folder to itunes, should work, what's the file format?

Idk about the format..I have 2 songs dl'd off Limewire so far. When I clicked add file to library, it added 1 song, but not the other..??

If dragging them to iTunes is not automatically adding them, then the files are not the right file type of iTunes.

I would STRONGLY recommend you do NOT use Limewire. Soooooo many viruses. I would recommend you look into Torrents.

But this can't be discussed here.

Had this happen to me before when trying to add a song to iTunes. It came down to iTunes couldn't read the id3 or idv3 tags, which are the tags that iTunes and other media players use to display artist/song/etc etc. Search for a id3 tag editor and delete then re-apply the artist and song name. And I agree un-install Limewire cuz it ain't nothing but trouble!
