What Type Of Music File Do You Have To Use

Well I lost my  Mp3 that I only used for recording, now i use a actual recorder but when i save it to my desktop it wont let me see it at all. Im guessing the problem is that it isnt the right type of Music File. So can someone tell me what format/type of file it has to be, and can someone send me links to a FREE  music converter or something that will let me change the type so i can use it in scratch?
Thanks for your time, and in the meantime Thank You to those who will help me out ^_^

Scratch should have to read .mp3 and .wav files.

You could use Audacity to record and/or convert your sounds...

I'm not sure what file types Scratch can use but I know it can use .wav files. For conversion I use Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/. You can use it for editing music files as well.

You post wasn't there when I started writing mine.. and we both came up with audacity. I haven't been able to get some .mp3 files to work either.

actually scratch doesn't read all MP3s, sometimes I have to edit them in a sound studio, but actually that's because they have a type of security on them

Like JSO and Josh99 said, it should take wav and mp3. If they dont work then your audio file probably has some wierd secuirity setting.

Just go to scratch, click on sounds, then click on record, that's all you have to do  smile
