Limewire & iTunes

[ehgoodrich]

I have read in several posts that newer versions of Limewire will
integrate w/iTunes on XP. Apparently, it generates a special playlist
in iTunes that gets updated automatically when something new is
downloaded. This is NOT happening for me and I'd like to hear from
anyone who knows any details of HOW Limewire is doing this?? Any
particular services or MS file sharing required to do this ??

any help appreciated,
e

Perhaps ask on an iTunes/Apple or Limewire forum?

A fair question:
I posted here for a couple of reasons:

1. This is a iTunes for Windows specific question. Apple/Mac
users won't have any info on how this works in Windows.
2. I believe the answer will involve some discussion of services
and/or protocols specific to Windows and thought a MS forum would stand
a better chance of being read by people who know these things.

Apple still writes all the iTunes software, just as Microsoft writes
Office for Mac. If there are Apple employees frequenting the forums as
do Microsoft employees on these (rare admittedly but highly valued).

Unlikely to require anything other than Limewire/iTunes-defined
settings. A playlist is usually just an XML/text file and is largely
platform independent.
