hi dixie_boysles,

in FW go to tools, options, saving... your default i think should be
C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Owner\My Documents\FrostWire\Saved..... if youre using windows xp.
whatever, make a note of the file location.

now go to itunes, edit, preferences, advanced tab... change your itunes media folder location to
C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Owner\My Documents\FrostWire\Saved... or whatever yours is.
while you are at the itunes advanced tab, make sure ' keep itunes media folder orginized' is not ticked

then you will have to copy all the files from your limewire save folder over to FWs save folder.

i think that should get it.

when you are sure all your music is in FWs save folder and and itunes can find them all and your pod syncs, you should be safe to delete the limewire save folder.

if you are scared , or cautious, backup all your files to an external HDD before you start.

EDIT: 2nd december 10;... i just retested this and it only sends to the file to itunes after you play the file in itunes. oops.
ill check it out and see if i can remember the fast way.

i know what you mean about looking in folders within folders that have folders just to find a song. especially when the song is in the wrong folder because somebody 5 years ago named it wrong or put it down to the wrong artist.

my sound recorder and WMP don't run in Vista. Can anyone help?

ANSWER ; Yes, but first, let me delete your spam link for you, thats my job, not much of a job, i know, but if you had a better job you wouldnt have the need or time to spam our forum, youd be busy being useful somewhere that you do fit in.

Reinstall them? It's hard to guess what the problem is without a description.

I can't add any music from limewire to itunes. I just got a new computer, so i downloaded the newest versions of both. I have used both before. I have used all of the ways to transfer the files. If it means anything, whenever i drag the files over to itunes instead of getting a square i get a circle with a slash inside of it.

[barlou12]

i was going to link you to this post but you are already here.

do you mean limewire or frostwire?

[ede29]

I meant frostwire. And the reason i posted here was because i read most of the original fixes, yet none of them worked. My problem seemed to be different than most people. Also i am using windows 7.

Hi...According to me

Despite the introduction of many MP3 music sites on the Internet, some of them backed by major companies, iTunes remains dominant. This isn’t because iPods, the world’s bestselling portable media players, work only with iTunes. They don’t: many media programmes make a point of working with the full iPod range. The reason iTunes is so successful is that Apple treats it like any of its other products, and ensures that it provides precisely what people want.

iTunes is free:

With this in mind, it’s perhaps surprising that iTunes is free. It also doesn’t matter whether you have a Mac or a PC, you can download iTunes without fuss on both.

The way ive always (in the past) managed media with itunes is as the manufacturer recommends ( file > add folder to library ). If you don't know where to add the media folder from, check in Tools > Options. Apple Support Link

Alternatively, there are other programs to add media to an ipod other than itunes, here's a link to simplehelp which lists the top 10.

A tip for iPods
When adding songs to your iPod on more than one computer, when your iPod is plugged in, click on the iPod, and check ''Manually manage songs'' or something like that, and add the songs to the iTunes library, then highlight the songs you want, and drag it to the ipod. They will start transferring, without deleting your songs.

I had a version 4 frostwire (i dont remember which one exactly) that I used frequently and when I was asked to upgrade, I did. I have always used it to add songs to iTunes. I hated the new version 5s so I wanted to download my old version but i wasnt sure which one it was. So i downloaded 4.21.8 and its the one I was looking for but i cant drag the songs onto my itunes library now. Does anyone know why or how i can fix it? any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! -gaby
