Re: Mpga to Mp3 How?

: : : When I download a .mpga file I do not get the option of changing the type to .mp3. Likewise, I can't seem to change the type of file properties after it has been downloaded either. How do I go about changing the file type so I can burn the file to a CD?

: : You need to rename the file from .mpga to .mp3. I think your problem may be that you haven't enabled Windows to display file extensions.

: : See if the following tutorial is of any use:

:) This will answer all your problems with converting from MPGA to MP3:
You have to rename the original MPGA file that has a "File" type of "file" to mp3. This is critical: The file that lists "file" as it's file type must be renamed. As stated before, this is done by renaming the actual file. For example, an MPGA file such as: Eagles - Hotel California must be renamed to Eagles - Hotel California.mp3
(The file type will immediately change to mp3)
If it does not, then you have not changed the right file.
Important: There should be 2 associated files with the WPGA when you first rip the song from the internet. The file that, at first, looks like a data file must be changed, not the other one.
E-mail me if you need any further explanation.
