Re: audio files mysteriously changed to real player

I looked through the threads, but did not see an answer to my situation.
Somehow or another all my audio files are now real player files. When I downloaded files they were automatically saved as Windows Media Audio files, and I was able to use WMP to easily copy to my Samsung mp3 player.

Now, when I start the sync, a message appears that says it can't sync the file to the player.

How can I, first, convert these newly changed files back to the Windows Media Audio format, and, second, ensure that future downloads will automatically be saved in the preferred format?

The file themselves won't have changed, only the icon next to them, which reflects the default application for opening those files.

I'm guessing you (re)installed Real Player and it took over the association for files ending with extension MP3, WMA, etc.
