Hello

I recently sold my PC, but backed up my MP3s onto DVD for transfer to my ibook (g3, 800mHz, running 10.3). When I try to transfer files onto the ibook, some of the albums and songs I've saved do not have file extensions and cannot be opened in iTunes (all songs were saved in MP3 format). The same problem manifiests itself when I try to open files in my other ibook, but when I tried to open the same files in a friend's new macbook, everything was fine...

I thought the issue may have been that I was running iTunes4, so I upgraded to iTunes6 but to no avail. Have any of you come across this problem before? Does anybody have a solution? Thanks in advance!

Why not just rename the files? There are programs that can rename files in batches so you don't have to do them individually.

Hi

Tried this already. I can't rename the files - when I click on a song title, it just vanishes from the folder.
