How Can I Take Music From Limewire and Put it on My iPod?

Transfer songs from your Limewire folder to your iPod.

Limewire is a popular peer-to-peer download network used to access music and movies. To transfer Mp3 songs from Limewire to iTunes, and then to your iPod, you need to add the Limewire download folder to your iTunes library. The process is simple, but if you've downloaded a large amount of music from Limewire it can be time-consuming. Do not download illegally posted copies of copyrighted music.

Things You'll Need

• iTunes
• iPod transfer cable

Instructions

1. Click the iTunes icon on your desktop, taskbar or in your Start menu. Wait for the program to start.

2. Click "File," then "Add Folder to Library." Navigate to the folder where your Limewire music is held, then click "OK." The default Limewire download location is the folder labelled "Shared" in your user folder.

3. Wait for the music to import into your iTunes library. Insert the iPod cable into the computer, then the iPod.

4. Select individual songs or albums from your Library and drag them onto your iPod in the left-hand pane of iTunes. You can select multiple items at once by holding down the "Ctrl" key, or just create anew playlist and drag it onto the iPod icon.

5. Click "sync." Wait for the music to be copied over, then unplug your iPod from your computer.

Tips & Warnings

• Downloading unlicensed copyrighted music without paying for it is illegal. Do not download songs that you are unauthorized to own.
