How to Get Your Music From LimeWire When Making a CD in Roxio
LimeWire is useful for downloading and sharing music files, and it even has the ability to play all of your music files right inside of the program. There may be times when you would like to take your music files with you on a CD, however. It is not always clear how to get your files out of LimeWire and into a program like Roxio for burning to a disc, as the program doesn't clearly reveal the saved locations of your files.
