File Types

[lelli]

i have been downloading music successfully with files for my media player all of asudden tehy have all changed to realone player and I dont know why or how to change this back? does anyone else know?

[h1]

Uninstall RealOne as it is the Ford Pinto of media players, then download Real Alternative (http://www.k-litemegacodecpack.com) if you need to view RA / RM files that badly.

You have selected Real One Player as default player for files of that type, so you will need to change back.

ok i have the same problem with real one player. I have some files that i downloaded but now they have the ra extension so i can't burn them on a cd because nero can't read that extension. how do i change the exension? HEEEEEELp plllllllease!!!

You can't just "change the extension." You need to convert it to PCM WAV and then into Fraunhofer-IIS MP3.

:o ooooookay whatever that means. Can you break it down for me ???????I am not familiar with all those terms or whatever. This has never happened before. I know how to change jpeg or bitmap but not ra? is it easier just to download the songs again?

[h1]

OK. You have to realize RA is the pariah of the music world. :lol: It's best not to download RA / RM files at all.

I don't know how to convert them, since I stay away from them like the plague. :D
