How can i make my .temp files into .mp3 files so i can burn them?

[RecklaZ]

I download music from AudioGalaxy and sometimes i want to listen to the music while its downloading so i open the .temp file with winamp. But the file stays as a .temp file when its done downloading which means i can listen to it in my computer but it wont let me burn the song. How can i make the .temp mp3s be read as winamp media files?

Thanks

rename it?

edit; sounds like it cant rename it when it's done downloading becasue you're listening to it.. sharing violation.

so i have to download it again and not listen to it until its done?

Nope, just rename it so that the extension is .mp3

but when i add a .mp3 to the end of the name it adds ".mp3" to the name but doesnt convert it into an mp3.

Can you see the extention at all? You might be just renaming it to blalba.temp.mp3 if you didn't disable file extention in folder options.

i fixed it by making the temp files show extensions on the folder options. thx for help guys.

If you really want to get creative for some pesky conflicts, sharing violations, etc., open your favorite wave editor and record the song as your a playing it with another application. Works for me!
