Tim - I can see how changing a doc file to docx, and then attempting to open the file in MS Word or another word processing app could corrupt a file. The same may be true for other file types and applications. Always best to proceed with caution. - Brad - On Mar 16, 2020, at 08:59, 'Tim Kilbu

Hi, No. You cannot change the extension from m4a to MP3. That could damage the file and make it unusable, and that will not change it to an MP3 anyway. You will need a converter to change to MP3. Later… Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 15, 2020, at 9:32 PM, Angus MacKinnon wrote: > > Tim > >
