Audio Systems/How Do I Fix My Mp3s?

Expert: - 9/30/2011


Question
All the mp3s on my computer have turned themselves in m3us! I have no idea how it happened or how to fix it, but I know I can't burn CDs that play in a CD player! HELP!

Answer
The file extension of m3us is a windows media player listing.  It could be as simple as just using your  windows media  player to reclassify them.   However, it can get complicated depending on what has been done with your original mp3 files.  

Here are some forum comments and conversion ideas that will help you, I think:
