MP3 changes to binary file when copied to external drive

  • 772

Small issue but curious. I have one mp3 file that changes type to binary when I copy it. If I force it to open with an mp3 player it will play but if I double click it to play it won't play - it opens in an editor.

It's just one file and the only one that does it.

mp3 binary

  1. You can change the default application that is used to open files of a given type. This will allow you to open your preferred application when you double-click to open a file. For example, you might want your favorite music player to open when you double-click an MP3 file.

    Select a file of the type whose default application you want to change. For example, to change which application is used to open MP3 files(which was opening in the editor), select a .mp3 file.

    • Right-click the file and select Properties.

    • Select the Open With tab.

    • Select the application you want and click Set as default.
