cheers pablo, i have had a look at this but still cant seem to sort it

i have found a way round it but its a pain in the ass. i am having to use polderbits sound editor, i load the song or mix into polderbits then either with or without editing it, i save it as mp3

but im sure there must be an easier way... my problem is i use i tunes to listen to my music and nero if i wanna burn anything. but neither of these recognise mpga files

i might have to try update them both

.. it would be far easier if the file im downloading, downloaded as mp3, but for some reason anything i download, has recently started downloading as mpga...i cant suss out why

i read on the net that its something to do with real player, so i have tried uninstalling real player and the files still download as mpga... any ideas guys...please.
