howdee folks, after much trying i have found out that to upload your audio mp3's to youtube you have to convert your mp3 file to an mpeg4 file, i have been searching the interweb for days now and cannot find a free program to download that converts mp3 to mpeg4, does anyone here know of a free program to download that converts from mp3 to mpeg4? cheers

That's because you don't convert audio files to video files....

Youtube hosts videos, not audio files. Mp3 is an audio file. You need a program like Windows Movie Maker (which you should have if you use Windows) so you can import the song, add a picture or vid, and export the file in a video format like MOV, AVI, MPG or MPEG4.
