I don't know about the internals of mp3 and mp4, but if you rename a 
spreadsheet (odt) to an image (png) it does not mean it has become an image, 
no more so than if I call myself a jellyfish makes me one.

I think that mp3 and mp4 must be very close, or that your other software just 
ignores the extension and looks 'inside' to figure out what it actually got. 
Most software does this anyway because extensions are often wrong.
