I have been using Limewire for about two years now and have built up a rather sizable library of some beautiful music, ranging from pop on the one end to hard-core classical the other!

It does take a while to understand what sort of file to click on and download and which ones to leave well enough alone.

IMHO, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Limewire, per sé. It is a matter of what you are prudent/imprudent enough to download through it!

Limewire gives you the option of identifying the files that are 'junk' and then, not download them!

All the offered d/ls that are anything less than 1 mb are almost certainly NOT music. If there is no bitrate indicated in the column, that is definitely not music.

Also, if you 'hover' over an item in the list, it is supposed to show you the details of the number, like Artiste, Album, Bitrate, Playing Time, Size etc. If that does not show, that particular item MUST be marked as junk immediately.

Just be careful: hey! If you were to get into a Merc and drive down to the whorehouse, surely it is not the Merc that takes you to 'bad' places!!!
