Hi,
I have just created a .bin file to burn to CD, but instead of converting properly, I have stupidly changed the file name with .mp3 at the end.....So now I have a .mp3 file which is actually a .bin file and is completely unreadable! (Sorry about the inexperience here..)
Can anyone help me to stop the file being associated as a .mp3 so I can burn the .bin file to disk. Cheers

Hiya
Unless i'm missing something here, can you not just rename the file?
List the file via My Computer or Explorer and simply rename it as blah.bin.0 -
