hi Mich, if you just want to take the audio part from the .avi & .wmv file, i may suggest you to use Sony SoundForge 8.0. just open the .avi or .wmv file with SoundForge and resave it to .mp3, the audio will then save in to the .mp3 file. good luck Regards, Allan Wong WLM: 3-m@xxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Kanish" <BobKanish@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <winamp4theblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2006 13:45 Subject: Re: File Types Question .AVI and .WMV files are both video formats. I would not advise changing the extension to .mp3 which is an audio file extension. Keep in mind that simply changing the extension to .mp3 doesn't change the file into an .mp3 file. --bob At 07:39 PM 11/20/2006, you wrote: >Hi all. I am just wondering.
