Problem renaming File

Question

Hello,
I have a problem about renaming file. This is the file.
"C:\Documents and Settings\Rose 2\Desktop\download directory\5406-5473\a " . It has no extension so I need to add extension(.mp3). here's my code:
            File mFile = new File(soundFile.getParent(),"a.mp3");
            soundFile.renameTo(mFile);
            System.out.println(mFile.toString());
            if (mFile.exists()) {
                setAudiofile(mFile);
            } else {
                System.out.println("mFile does not exist");
            }the soundFile variable is the original file. The output of my code is nothing and I don't see a.mp3.
Result of System.out.println(mFile .toString()) :
C:\Documents and Settings\Rose 2\Desktop\download directory\5406-5473\a.mp3
Thanks in advance and Happy New year!!!

The output of my code is nothing and I don't see a.mp3.But you posted some output...
Anyway try if (mFile.exists()) {
    System.out.println("mFile *does* exist");
    setAudiofile(mFile);
} else {
    System.out.println("mFile does not exist");
}What is the output?
By the way, your code gives no hint as to what setAudiofile() does - including the possibility, albeit unlikely, that it deletes a.mp3. Rather than post a snippet excised from a longer piece of code, construct a SSCCE that illustrates renameTo() not working.
