Sometimes iTunes gets confused and cannot remember where your songs are so you need to give it a guiding hand.

Quit the iTunes software before you start.

Your songs are stored (in Mac OS X and Windows 7) in a folder called iTunes within your Music folder (in earlier versions of Windows it will be in My Music within the My Documents folder). In that iTunes folder find the file called iTunes Library and drag it out onto your desktop.

Go back into the iTunes folder and find another folder called Previous iTunes Libraries. In there find the latest version (it will be called iTunes Library Year-Month-Day) and drag that out into the main iTunes folder to replace the old iTunes Library file you removed.

Rename your new file iTunes Library (by removing the date part) and then relaunch the iTunes software and it should now be able to find your songs again.

Should you stay with purchasing songs from itunes store or should i get LimeWire?

Downloading songs from LimeWire is illegal. But, technically LimeWire is not illegal because they are not responsible if you choose to download the file. Recently, with the upgrade to "iTunes Plus", all songs on itunes can be copied about seven times without violating the law. So here's your choice: risk being caught downloading songs illegally, or buy the songs for about a dollar ($1.29 if it is popular) from the itunes store.

How do you download songs from windows media player to a ipod nano?

To get songs onto an iPod nano, you have to have iTunes (you can download this at www.apple.com) . If you want songs from Media Player, open both programs on your computer, and drag the songs from Media Player into iTunes. Or, you can buy songs at iTunes too. Once you have iTunes, any songs you download on Limewire go automtically to iTunes. If this doesn't work, then again, drag the songs on Limewire into iTunes.
