    How do I change a YouTube MP3 download to a JPEG file?

    That's not possible. An MP3 file is an audio file and a JPEG is a photo file. Audio files sometimes don't even have a photo files attached to them. If you want to convert the audio file to another type of audio format, there are tons of free websites out there.

    You can't listen to music after it has been turned into a JPEG. Try to keep it as an MP3.

    You have to download an app and get a blank CD, then burn the mp3 through the app onto the CD, then you're good to go!
