Exclamation Limewire and iTunes stopped working together!

I have both Limewire and itunes on my computer. I have always been able to download songs on Limewire and transfer the songs over to iunes. I downloaded a few songs a few days ago and they all showed up with orange cones next to them. When I tried to drag them over to itunes, a box popped up that said the formats were not compatible. I have iTunes 7.7.1.
Thanks for the help!

This is absolutely the wrong place to post that, but I'll give you my answer anyway .

iTunes is for legal media, and LimeWire (despite what they claim) is generally for illegal media; it was only a matter of time 'till they stopped communicating. It should be resolved if you're willing to downgrade.

The orange cones indicate that the files are probably VLC media files.

probably also not a file compatible with itunes, so you downloaded a file that isn't compatible with itunes, has nothing to do with Limewire. (o yes and limewire sucks).
