When I used to download from limewire the music file would have an MP3 icon, as well as the suffix .mp3. I had no problems playing a song.

Now when I download a file there is not an MP3 icon, but what looks like a blank white piece of paper (however, the MP3 suffix is still there). When I double click the file it asks me to select a 'quicktime translation' in order to play.

Without the files being "full"or "complete" MP3s I can't convert them to aif's in order to burn them.

What could be the problem?
