All of a sudden when I'm attempting to download an MP3
file (from perfectly legal sites, I might hasten to add)
the default becomes *.mpeg though the file is named *.mp3.
Any thoughts on how to fix this other than renaming
downloaded files after the fact? I'm concerned that for
years it didn't do this and now as of this week it has.
 
Your settings may be corrupt. Re install for .mp3

You set this for each file type, e.g. for .zip
Explorer-View-Folder Options-File Types
Find the .zip association (may be WinZip File)
Edit, (or click Advanced on ME or XP) and check the "Confirm open
after download" box

The path to Folder Options may vary according to your operating
system. It may be:
Explorer-View-Folder Options
Explorer-Tools-Folder Options
Start-Settings-Folder Options
Start-Settings-Control Panel-Folder options.
