I am looking at saving the mp3 files presented in Konqueror when

What konqueror presents is just a virtual view. You cannot play
anything
else than the .wav's from a CD, because they're the only ones
representing
the real data.
Oh, I see. When I copy an mp3 file I get a file which is 4.5MB
large, so I
thought that it has real music in it.
I believe that once you've dragged & dropped one of these somewhere -
resulting in a .mp3 file of about that size - they should indeed be
playable. It sounds like something's broken.
Are you using KDE 3.5.10?
I think your problem may be described in this article:

But, if you want to rip MP3 files, you will have some extra work
to do
to get them to come out right. Due to a "bug" that crept into KDE
3.5.10, MP3s do not encode properly. Without the "fix," all your
MP3s
will be nothing more than static-filled white noise.
I no longer consider MP3 as a particularly good format for compressed
audio. You might want to consider the Ogg Vorbis option, although on
other platforms you may need to install software to play this format.
