New entries on the iTunes Source list

Hi guys,

Today I'm facing a peculiar little problem: in my iTunes Source list, right under the Music Store, out of the blue appeared a new entry : "Roxana's Limewire Tunes". I didn't know what it is, clicking on it made iTunes want to connect to some server, I denied it.

Today I see that the name has changed. Now is George's Limewire Tunes.

When I launch iTunes, it doesn't appear at first but then after a few secs it does.

Operating system is MAC OS X 10.4.8.

What is this people??

sounds like you're on a network and have 'look for shared music' checked. it's somebody else's itunes library, and they have 'share library' checked.

Well, this computer is not connected to any network except the BIG one, the Internet.

You may have a point, I thought something was fishy since clicking it makes iTunes try to connect to some adresses from the same ISP I have. I'll try to let it connect , see what happens.

Oh, if you have Limewire, don't let it share music (or stream to other computers over a network). It's in the limewire options somewhere.

If you have Limewire then why are you surprised? Doh!

I don't have Limewire, but it seems some other people from the same ISP as me have it.

And to my surprise, I can see the shared music and play it

Thanks guys.

damn! who's your isp?

If you don't want to see it, turn off Look For Shared Music on your Local Network under Shared in Preferences.

My ISP Google, according to all the Danasoft signs.

#449356

Tried that already... Didn't figure out how to do it though

you can't copy, rip, burn or anything else from a shared source. only listen. again, who's your isp?

Actually you can. I can't remember the name of the program but there is one out there.

Same thing happens on my ISP. Unfortunately, they all have sucky music. :-(
