I have a Droid Bionic but I'm sure this will apply to many devices
I uploaded a bunch of Tunein Pro recordings from my phone to my PC using AndSMB but I couldn't play them back. The files have no file extension and are labeled as a group of numbers (ex. 20120804-163017). After searching quite a bit most people were saying to simply rename the files by adding the ".mp3" extension which didn't work for me. I had a feeling that the problem is that Tunein is adding its own meta data to the file making other audio players not recognize it.
In order to get these files to play on my PC I downloaded a free program called MP3 Repair Tool v1.5 from Dr. Tag. You can get it here:
Just google "dr tag mp3 repair tool" and it will probably be the first link.
What you need to do is rename the file to end in ".mp3" and navigate to the folder within the repair tool. Select the file, check "Remove" and select to remove anywhere from 75 - 100 frames from the beginning of the file. You can play around with other values but this range worked for my files. It will create a "repaired" file and it should play.
Have fun! I hope this proves useful to anyone else.
