Not sure if it matters, but my Mother in Law (whos computer and ipod I'm working with) says all of these songs are from Limewire. I don't think that would matter. Am I missing something easy? Is there a reason why her music isn't in My Music? What about using an external hard drive to kind of go the long wau around? Any help would be appreceated.

Limewire puts its files in a separate "shareable" folder, and they are probably all still in there.

Use the windows search feature and enter *.mp3. This will find all the music and tell you where the folder is that they are stored.

Or, alternately, there might be a way to right click a track in WMP and see if there are any details or property options that will allow you to see the filepath of the songs there.
