Has anybody ever came across one of these files? I just downloaded some songs off of newsgroups and in file types it says mp3-datei but the file extension is .mp3 Thanks

"mp3-datei" is "mp3 file" in German. Maybe I don't understand the question ...

I think you probably just answered it!!

You sure did, thanks, now to find out why my mp3's all are now "mp3-datei" ??

You mean the file type shown in the property dialog? Then it is probably caused by a german-written program which you assigned to the mp3-extension (like winamp, etc.).

If you want to, you can change it manually in the explorer: Tools - Folder options - file types.
