In my world, .3gp files are audio files. They are used by the NLS for their new Digital Book standard. As I said earlier, the Victor Stream reader makes them when you record a voice note. They are much smaller than .mp3's and are of very good sounding quality for their size. There are NO video components in them!

Well tried to convert some of these .3gp files. Told the companion software where they were on my drive. But still no luck.

.3gp is the standard use by the NLS to record talking books and magazines. It is also used by the Victor Stream Reader to record your own personal notes. If you have the Victor Stream it comes with a CD containing companion software that will convert .3pg files into .wav and from there you can play them or convert them to .mp3 or .ogg etc.
