Do you mean save onto your hard drive? If it was originally burnt correctly to the DVD-R as an MP3 file but minus the file extention then, once you have copied it to your hard drive, have you tried [right-clicking on the file on the hard drive, clicking on Properties and] unticking the Read Only box, then renaming it to add the .mp3 extension? I'm assuming you have Windows set up to show file extensions?

I read this incorreectly originally. Check out Cobb's post which has the solution. |

Sounds like you are using XP's built in writing software which creates
a placeholder 'on' the dvd (which is really a hidden folder on your
hard disk) prior to you commiting the write stage. Before you say
"write these files to dvd" they do look a bit like readme files I
suppose. I suggest you get yourself a decent CD/DVD writing software package, I use Nero http://www.nero.com/eng/index.html - http://www.nero.com/eng/index.html But there are plenty of others. ------------- http://www.humanism.org.uk/site/cms/contentChapterView.asp?chapter=309" rel="nofollow - Humanism |

| You are copying a read only file from a cd, so of course its is going to remain read only on your hard drive. Just right click the file on your hard drive and open the properties menu, then untick read only. |
