can someone tell me how to save files other than mp3 ?

Go to;
Tools > Options > Saving; and then select the type you want to save, click "Browse" just below this option and select the destination

thank you sir, I'll try that

It still didnt give the option to save as wma or whatever, just saves as mp3 ?

The file saves itself as whatever file it is when its on the network, if you download a .wma, you cannot save it as an mp3.
Try typing a song you want with the correct extension

ok thanks, I know I used to get wma now just mp3

wma is definitely not a very good format. And more you should know about the format: What you should know about WMA/WMV Files. LW now auto filters the format because it is spammed far too much. The higher % of what's on the network is rubbish spam or simply rubbish. Microsoft's poorest file format ever to hit the market. Most of what you find is virus (or much worse) infected.

Most people who use WMA format do it purely out of ignorance. And because it is the default format for saving within WMP which is loaded onto 90% of computers out there. Unfortunately most people do not realise about this. WMA is also a Micro$oft patented format. Not easily converted unless the other converter program has paid license fee to be allowed to do such.

the only reason i dont like mp3z is because the cd player in my truck and my semi do not read mp3z, but , thank you for the info. I did not know that
