How can you tell if a music file is mp3?

right click, properties.  It will tell you the file extension.  Also in windows go to view details.

I don't think you can do it. Windows stores the association of file types (based on extensions) with applications. If your file is sometime audio and sometime video, Windows will probably not understand it and hence can not differentiate.

An iPod can play MP3 files.\niTunes is the best, no subscription fee, only 0.99$ for the tracks you really like.\nRead the following page if you want free and legal music \nhttp://baseportal.com/baseportal/goodsounds/howto

You cant, its the content of the recording. Whoever made the mp3 just did a poor job recording it. Its not your fault with it, its the file itself.\n\nJust go to volume control and play with the playback when you get a bad mp3 quality file.\n\nYou might want to try out http://www.winamp.com since it has a bunch of automatic controls that you can be manually adjusted to fit the way you want your music to play on your computer.

I use www.lycos.co.uk to find MP3 files. Totally safe, totally free. Go to advanced search, check, or uncheck, the right boxes and hopefully you find something. Not the best source, because you won't find EVERYTHING, but if it's something popular, you have a good shot. Worth a try.

Plenty of freeware available to convert to mp3 but batch processing such a large number of files may result in errors and/or program crashes - looks like you'll have to set aside some time...\nTry Free WMA MP3 Converter\nhttp://www.download.com/Free-Mp3-Wma-Converter/3000-2140_4-10602212.html?tag=lst-0-1\nSwitch Sound File Converter\nhttp://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html\nMediamonkey (the lame encoder is free for 30 days; you can install a free lame encoder)\nhttp://www.mediamonkey.com/product.htm

Personally I like windows media 10. If you right click on the mp3 in Media you can change the title, artist and icon. It will also seach the web for likely matches.

check the folder you store your MP3s in, if you are unsure where that is, do a search for all .mp3 files (or whatever format audio files you might have) If they are all there, then go back into MusicMatch and (going off the top of my head on this one) look for an option to "import files" or something to do with updating your library, Musicmatch should be able to search your hard disk for all audio files, especially if you specify the location you found them on your disk.\n\nIf that didn't work, and you did in fact lose your files (don't see how that would be possible) it is POSSIBLE to load your PC from a saved point (if you haven't done a backup, it will be some random time over the past week or so) If this is the course your willing to take, seriously talk to a friend who knows computers about doing a "system restore" on your machine.  But honestly, I think this solution would be a bit overkill, and I'm sure you will find your files on your PC somewhere.

I use this.  May be a bit slow normalizing 1000 mp3 files -- but, it hasn't let me down yet.  Plus, it's free. =o)

A simple but time consuming way is to burn it to a CD and them import the MP3, but you generally lose the ID tags when you do so, unless you're burning a full CD.  But for singles it can be a pain in the ass.

Convert mp3 to wav using itunes. When its done converting, open Sound Recorder (click start, click all programs, click accessories, click entertainment). In file, click open, look for converted music and double-click it. In effects, click reverse and it should hear the music backwards. Save it once again and you're done.

If your album is mp3, you can use an mp3 splitter program.  \n\nThere's a simple freeware program I use that will do the job.  It's called Mega Mp3 Splitter.  You can google for a download link if the link I listed for some reasons does not work

MP3 should work unless you are not coding it to regular bitrate and frequency.  I think midi also works because it is music only.

If the song is in your media player list, right click on it and select properties. You can see the file location from there. Alternatively, you u do a file search for it by going to Start->Search
