iam using windows xp media. when i save a file to my pc it always says limewire *m3u. even though the file is mp3. why is this happening and can i change it to mp3 somehow. as m3u'S wont play on my phone unless i convert it, and when i do it doubles the size of the file. cheers.

m3u is a playlist file & contains the location of songs in a playlist. You'll need to find the mp3 files themselves...they're probably in your saved folder

In LW tools > options > saving & you'll see the location of your saved folder. If you go to LW's library, click on Saved Files then click Explore...your saved folder will open. See if the mp3s are there.

ah i see, thank you for your words of wisdom
