It's possible that the maximum number of authorized computers (5) has been reached. If you're the one who originally purchased the music, you can go back to the Music Store, de-authorize all computers and then re-authorize the computers you want to be able to play the music and try it again. The other possibility is to play the music into your computer and record it using one of the many free ripping programs out there and then the music will not have the restrictions mentioned above. Good luck.

How do you turn a song from itunes into a sound file?

Your songs on iTunes are sound files. If you downloaded them from the iTunes store, they are .m4a files. If you downloaded them from elsewhere, they may be in a different format, but they are still sound files. To locate the files on your hard drive, simply right click on a song on iTunes and click "Show in Windows Explorer" (at least on Windows).

How do you add music to ipod from LimeWire?

Music is put on the iPod by iTunes. Downloaded music must first be added to the iTunes Libray by iTunes [File > Add to Library], then iTunes will put it onto the iPod. If necessary, music must converted into a format that is usable by iTunes. This depends on your set up. iTunes will try to convert files as it adds them to the library.
