to convert media file format

[ankita]

can u assist me to convert my music files from *.php format to windows media player format

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

.php format? Right Click the .php file, go to Properties.
How big is that file?
How did you get it?

[ankita]

there are many files like some are  4.6mbs n i downloaded from a music website

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

What happens when you double click it?
Copy one of the files (to back it up) and change one of the copies so that instead of being file.php, you edit the filetype by making it file.wma
See what happens when you do that.

[ankita]

actually through properties it opens with winamp but i still cant change the file types plz help me write me the steps

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

All righty then:

First, go to a folder and click Tools --> Folder Options

A new window should pop up. Click the View tab and then look for a check box saying 'Hide extensions for known file types'

Uncheck that and press OK.
Now go to your backed up .php file, right click, and click Rename.

Note: your icon for the .php file may look different.
Rename the '.php' at the end to '.wma'. Press Enter.

It should look like this:

Now see what happens when you double click the file.

Dudeoxide,Will "renaming it really allow access as if it were a .wma file?Would not a media file conversion program be necessary to actually "convert" the file to another format as in this case .wma? truenorth

My question is: since when .php file is a media file?
According to: http://filext.com/file-extension/php
.php may be:
Picture It! Publishing Project File
PhotoParade Slideshow
Creatacard Quick Prints Project
PHP Script

I based my reply on the possibility that it wasn't saved properly or the filetype got mixed up. It's possible Ankita tried to rip music off the site but ripped the wrong file.

If you can hear the sounds/music on your computer's speakers, then you might be able to record them to wav format:

Go to Start > Run > type in sndvol32 /r. If you cannot see a slider labeled "Wave Out Mix or Stereo Mix", go to Options > Properties and scroll through the list to find and click "Wave Out Mix" or "Stereo Mix", then click OK. Adjust the slider to the desired volume and click "Select" by Wave Out Mix - Then...

Go to Start > Run > type in sndrec32. Click the record button (button with the round icon) and then (quickly) click/play the sound in the program to record (have to get timing right). Stop the recording and then file - save (wav format) to a folder.

Then if you want you can convert the wav file to other formats, e.g. mp3. A simple program is amber audio converter.

Many people would suggest the free Audacity for recording and editing (e.g. amplifying music, reverb, etc) if you want...
