first, you need to download the limewire installation, from limewire.com or download.com next, install it. you can narrow search by clicking on advanced search. you can search by genre, length, name of song, name of artist, etc. once you search, you will see all the results. just click on them to download. they will be downloaded to the saved folder under limewire, found in my documents. (unless you change the destination folder) i advise you take the files out of that folder and put them in a new folder. the music player on the limewire window sucks, so i advise not using it, except to preview songs.
