MP3 changes to binary file when copied to external drive

Small issue but curious. I have one mp3 file that changes type to binary when I copy it. If I force it to open with an mp3 player it will play but if I double click it to play it won't play - it opens in an editor.

It's just one file and the only one that does it.

You can change the default application that is used to open files of a given type. This will allow you to open your preferred application when you double-click to open a file. For example, you might want your favorite music player to open when you double-click an MP3 file.

Select a file of the type whose default application you want to change. For example, to change which application is used to open MP3 files(which was opening in the editor), select a .mp3 file.

  • Right-click the file and select Properties.

  • Select the Open With tab.

  • Select the application you want and click Set as default.
