Partition open with same file properties open in Ubuntu and Windows

I am trying to transfer audio and video files across from Ubuntu 13:10 to a Windows 7 partition on VirtualBbox.

Whether I put my files in the shared hard drive or on a USB when Windows accesses it, it does not recognise the file type.

I have tried MP3 MP4 and AVI

Anybody have any ideas on this?

same folder in Windows and Ubuntu

Windows on the left showing just a file and Ubuntu on the right showing MP3

Try adding the extension to your files in Ubuntu. Disc 1 audio.mp3 and test.mp3 for instance and try it again

  • Yes, right click the file, select rename and append .mp3
