All Mp3's download as Real Network/won't play

[phin]

New at this, so I hope there is an easy solution:

Using a Mac, I download MP3's via Limewire, but once they are downloaded they are all Real Network files. Cannot play them with Real Networks, because their po-up box says there is no plug-in. . .cannot play them with Quicktime, won't recognize the file, and can't play with iTunes, even after trying the associator (itafter using that it just says, no changes made)

So what to do?

Thanks!

I had the problem at first, but then I dropped a couple on Quicktime. Afterwards Quicktime would play. Also Check Internet Control Panel/ Internet Config and set File type for MP3's to play with Quicktime.

You can set the 'translation application' in the File Exchange Control Panel.

From Mac Help in the Finder, Type "file type" and pick an options to have your Mac walk you through it.
