That's a real player problem... I'm not sure what the fix is but I think it has to do with the mime type and what real player registers as file types. You can take a look at those by going into my computer, tools, folder options, file types.

If I were you I would just remove any association with mp3 files with realplayer and use winamp or windows media player to play them instead. That should prevent the rename.
