I downloaded an audiobook from limewire, and it said it is in mp3 format, but iTunes will not open it. I opened it in real player, and it worked fine. I was wondering if anyone knew how to open it in itunes, or if I should be concerned?
Thanks

You should be concerned:

Limewire has infected your system and turned your font lime-green!!!

Seriously though: are you sure it's an mp3 file? Select it and hit apple+i to check the real format..
If it really is an mp3, it might be corrupted... See if quicktime can open it, or try converting it into another format (aiff, wav) and then just have iTunes convert it back to an mp3.
