when i download songs..they come up as mp3 like they are suppose to, but when i save them to my computer the file name says m3u. what's up?

M3u files are Playlist files which will not play. You say, You are saving them to your computer?? How are you doing this?? The program does this automatically. Sends the files to your Shared/Saved Folder. When your in the library, click Explore. (lower left corner) This will take you to the Shared/Saved Folder on the HDD. These will be MP3 Files.

I have tried to download the songs from the saved/shared file to another file and they wont play from there either..Is there any way I can move them to a program called myyearbook, which is where I usually am?

m3u files are like notecards, a simple file that lists the titles of the songs and points the player where to find them. If the actual music files have been moved from where they were, then the m3u file won't be able to find them when you try to open that m3u playlist file up in any player.

It's my guess you are adding the songs to a playlist in the LW media player, then saving that as an m3u playlist file.

For fast & easy access, go to your LW Library window, select Saved Files folder & press the Explore button. Sample image here: Using Library Explore button to access downld folder (click on link) & the folder will open up for you.

Also, if you hover your cursor next to the shared / saved file listing in the Library window, this will show which directory it is in. eg: C:\Documents and Settings\"your account name"\Shared

So direct your other player to find them there. Else, move the music files to your account Music Folder and add them to your player from there.
