There are multiple pieces mixed up in your question:

1.) Every song has a filename, like `My beautiful named song.mp3`  
2.) If you load this song in Mp3tag you can import a copy of this filename in the metadata tags, ie in the tag `TITLE`. You can use the menu Convert -\> Filename - Tag (or press ALT + 2) and the preview of this converter let you see that NO extension like `*.mp3` will be converted.

3.) If you already have the extension `.mp3` in your TITLE tag, you can do step #2 again.  
4.) If your content in TITLE is not exactly the same as the filename without extension, you can use a [replace action](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/actions-and-batch-operations/967/6) to replace the unwanted part in TITLE with nothing = remove it.  
5.) During a download of a song from an external source, you can not modify the metadata tags. You can only modify a completely downloaded local copy of such a song.  
6.) Your player software can read the filename and/or the manually added metadata tags. This heavily depends on the various available player software.
