Convert 3ga to mp3

I had been recording sounds with Samsung Galaxy S2's 'Voice recorder' and I wanted to play it on my PC. But, the files are in 3ga format. Oh no. It turns out my PC can't play media of this format. What do I do?

So I googled 'convert 3ga to mp3 online'.

I found a few solutions with my results. One of them is Online-Converter.com and another from xda-developers forum member, jmaddox1978:

"This isn't very technical, however, I just changed the file extension from .3ga to .mp3 . I just gave it a try out of frustration and it now plays as an mp3 on all of my devices."

Next, I followed the advice and it worked for me. Great! Now, I can play the 3ga file in VLC and Windows Media Player.


P.S. To change file extension, simply select the file and then press f2 (make sure 'Hide extensions for known file type' is unchecked in Folder Options->View) to edit the file extension.
