text: why does my computer download music files as .mpeg files even though other computers dl them as mp3's? i've been trying to download mp3 files (legally) from different sites, and i can't get them to download as mp3 files...my computer downloads them as .mpeg files, which i know are movie files. why is it doing this and how can i make it stop doing this? other computers will download from the same sites as mp3's, like they're supposed to do. try to view better the "save as" option... retype the destination file as mp3.
