I downloaded Alive mp3 converter as instructed on another thread on this site. But when I right click to convert the song from m3u to mp3 it will not work. Can someone help or tell me another way to do it. I only want one song to be converted. For some reason this is the only format I can find the song in. Thanks in advance for any help.

A m3u file is not an audio file.
It is a playlist file. A text file that tells your player the locations of audio files on your computer or on the Internet.

So you cannot convert a m3u file to mp3 audio.
You need to convert the actual audio file.
If the audio file is on the Internet and not on your computer you will need to download it and then convert it.

I was about to type a frustrated response... But since it was already explained in detail.

I had already downloaded it. But that was when I ran in to the problem of not being able to convert it.

It sounds like what you downloaded was just the m3u playlist file.
You need to open that file with notepad and find the address of the actual audio file that needs to be downloaded.

Did the notepad,found the address. http://bombshellcrush.com/audio/BOMBSHELL_CRUSH-Broken_Down.mp3
What do I do with that now. I want to be able to put this song on my mp3 player. When I paste the address to explorer it just opens up the song and starts playing, but it will not let me do anything alse with it.

Right click on the link you made.
http://bombshellcrush.com/audio/BOMBSHELL_CRUSH-Broken_Down.mp3
Select Save Target As...

Or paste that link into any download manager.

Also when you played that link, the file was downloaded to your Temporary Internet Files. It could have been copied from there.

If all you wanted was mp3 then you have that. No conversion is needed.
