My laptop running Vista Home Premium has suddenly started turning downloaded MP3 files into MP2 files, which I cannot play on my Sony portable MP3 player.

If the files were MP3 files, then they should still be MP3 files, so if you manually change the file extension from .mp2 to .mp3 they should play. Indeed, if they were actually MP2 sound files, changing the extension should also make them play. But I don't know what's causing the problem. It could be the browser (so try using a different browser), a corrupted registry entry (check your file type assignments) or possibly a virus, for example.
