!!!!-up with .BIN file

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.
