    i found this website that allows you to play songs from any cd that has came out. And when i play the songs they come up on my windows media player as playlist file that are extensions. i cannot save the media with the windows media player and i have been looking for a program that allows you to convert the extensions back to normal files so that i can burn the songs to cd's because it says cannot copy to cd using the extension. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The ASX extetion tells the media player or browser where to stream the the media from. It isn't a media (Audio/Video) file at all.

    Learn about ASX files:

    I forgot to tell you to just open up the file (.ASX) with any text editor and copy the last URL into your downloading app (such as "Fresh Download") or media player browser to download the media file. It should end with ".mp3."

    I don't understand why you would need this app. What type of converting does it do? The ASX file contains the link to the original media file (it says so on its site!).
    Why would you need to convert anything? Its cool that it can extract audio from WMV and ASF files, but does it decrypt encrypted ASX files?
