Re: .mp3 extension problem

Download and install Audacity...a sound editing software that does a great job of converting.

If Audacity cannot play them it's very likely to be due to corrupted/damaged .mp3 files.

If Audacity opens them you can convert them to .wav files then re convert them to mp3's to fix them

When you say BTJUNKIE , i think we are getting into discussing about torrents which is a sensitive topic . I would request the moderators to allow me come up with some tips for our friend if i am allowed to do so .( I don wanna get banned ..... i certainly do not ...
