It's an MSN problem. Call MSN. Ask them how to work around the problem. If you get their "it's for your safety" line, let them know you're even safer if you stay off-line (as in cancel service). Ask for a supervisor, etc. They may have a solution that's better than changing the file suffix.
What services do they provide? Why are you paying them?
You can probably find a patch for the new version, or at least downgrade to the previous version and patch it, but you'll be forever chasing your tail as they modify their code. Blocking mp3's is a fairly outrageous feature and they need to stop the practice or provide a workaround.
