LimeWire offers sharing of its library through the [[Digital Audio Access Protocol]] (DAAP). As such, when LimeWire is running and configured to allow it, any files shared are detectable and downloaded on the local network by [[Digital Audio Access Protocol|DAAP-enabled]] devices (e.g., [[Zune]], [[iTunes]]).
