What does this mean? (extension doesn't match file format)
 
I searched for a certain song. The search produced only one copy, so I downloaded it. But when I tried to play it, I got a message saying it couldn't be played because the extension (mp3) didn't match the file format.

Can anyone tell me what this means? :eek:

it means its not really an mp3 even though its named as one...might be a .rar, .zip, .avi, etc....

Thank you, Peerless! I thought I had enabled all those extensions, but I'll check again.

Something that is named as something else usually isn't good. You would be better of deleting it.

I suspected that, Sleepless. Thanks for the heads up. :)

I think you missed the point...someone else has renamed the extension of the file (possibly with the hope that you would be curious enough to play around with it and as sleepless noted get yourself into some trouble)

Well, I may have missed it then, but I have it now! :xeri_ok1ani:
