Okay I tried to put two songs on my Mp3, and it usually doesn't act this weird and now my Mp3 is saying Disk Error. What does this mean? It won't play music or anything. My Mp4 did this to me last year and we had to buy a Mp3 >.< *kicks her Mp3*

That's it!
Stop using it is there's any way possible. I got a virus on my computer from it! My Mp3 was also messing up.
If you want to assure yourself of no mess-ups. delete lime-wire. And plug in your Mp3 player and try to delete the last songs you downloaded.

Well, I would try and delete something on it if it wasn't saying "Disk Error" everytime I go somewhere.
But my freind thinks it's this thin that was suddenly uploaded on my computer called Mirar. Do you know about that?

No but we got this santaisonhisway.rar or something like that. It's probably the same thing. My best advice is to just delete LimeWire becasue seeing as I am not there I can't really help with the Mp3 player.

Sorry to sound like a nag, but Lime Wire isn't only illegal (in many cases, not all), it's also very dangerous. Not only do people upload very questionable images through LW that aren't fun to stumble on, but there are TONS of viruses waiting to infect peoples files. I wouldn't be surprised if you downloaded a music file that had a virus on it and ended up corrupting your MP3 player.
I would first off uninstall Limewire and delete ALL of the files that you downloaded from there, especially this Mirar one that you found. If you have an antivirus program, run a full sweep of your computer and delete any malicious files it finds. You don't want to take any chances - it doesn't take long for a virus to knock out a computer and you run the risk of losing your files, too. Trust me, I know from experience.
Like Blondie mentioned, you'll want to try to wipe your MP3's disk drive completely clean if you can. If there's any way you can plug it into a computer and delete everything on it, do that. If not, it might be too late. You can try calling the company for assistance, though I've had some hassles trying that with various companies in the past.
Good luck. I really hope you don't end up having to buy a new MP3 player, but if that is the case, then just stay far, faaaaarr away from any P2P file transfer programs. I don't download music often, but when I do I pay for it, because it's so much safer that way. iTunes has relatively average prices, but you can't convert those files to MP3 without burning them onto a CD, which is dumb. I'll try to look up the name of the MP3 site that Dad uses for you, that one is really cheap.

Yes I know this, but I never downloaded it on my computer, so I did not know it was illegal.
We will be getting a new computer soon anyways. So, I might as well let this computer go. It's very old and we might just throw it out. So when I get my new computer, I might try and fix everything on my Mp3 ^^'
