Hello!
I've got my Sensation yesterday
Loving it, despite of the bugsss
I see that Sensation can config SRS in the default player, wanna use it with speakers
But I rarely use the default player =\ .. mostly mSpot and I'm thinking of testing Google Music, both having their "custom" players
Is it possible to take advantage of SRS with any other streaming music player?
Or make the default player see the songs downloaded by mSpot? (yea.. I wasn't able to make it do that )
That's weird, cuz it can find musics downloaded by "MP3 Music Download". And it's not the codec either, it's m4a by mSpot.
Thanks in advance!
SRS and Dolby 5.1 are only available through stock apps from my experience. To get your media to show up in the stock app use an app that causes a new media search. SDRescan is free on the market. I use Extended Controls.

Thanks for your reply.
I tried the SDRescan, but it didn't work =\
I've also rebooted the phone.. it just doesn't see the mSpot folder -.-
I'm not familiar with mSpot. You say it stores m4a files on your phone? Try to look for the directory with Astro or Estrong. I'm betting they aren't there or are in a hidden directory. Make sure you set the file manager to show hidden files. Check mSpot to see if there is a setting that allows you to hide media from the Android system. Subsonic has a setting like that.
I did a test copying the mSpot file to another folder.. it was able to see the music
So I guess the file is not the problem
But still can't make it to scan mSpot folder

The files are there. Didn't find any setting like that.
I think I'm just gonna try Google Music (to sync) and play them with default player
Thanks, though!
Oh.. I found a file named ".nomedia" inside mSpot's folder
After deleted that file, it was able to scan the folder ^^
But the song's properties (song name, singer, album..) are encrypted, so they're all messed up XD can't use it!
Just gonna try Google Music..
Use Volume+.

That sucks man. DRM sucks. Yeah any folder with a file .nomedia or any folder that begins with a . is hidden from a media scan. The period first in the name is how you label a file or folder hidden in Linux.
So it has annoyed my for a long time that i couldn't take the recordings from tune in radio and listen/transfer them to my pc/mp3 player. this is a step by step guide on how to do it.
*important* make sure you know what format you made the recordings in (mp3/aac). just look on the right hand side of the track progress bar while recording live (see screenshot below) in this example it is recorded in aac. tune in will automatically record in mp3 format usually.
so, once you have the recording saved, connect your phone to pc via usb. navigate to your tunein folder, usually mnt/sdcard/tunein. find the recording you want to listen to/copy, it will look something like this; 20111131-074437. copy it over to your pc.
now, just add .aac or .mp3 to your file name. (.aac or .mp3 depending on what it was recorded as)
good? done! that's it. you now have your tunein recording as a readable file on your pc. if you want to remove ads/tracks in the recording, use an audio editor to do so. i use this; http://www.nch.com.au/splitter/index.html
it should be noted that for recordings 50mb+ it can be hit or miss with this method. so try to keep your recordings below about 2 hours long...
Need update
This method no longer works. Is there an updated process for exporting the recordings?
Hello ,
I am using Tunein for my Samsung Galaxy S2 (Android Ice Cream) and i am very happy with it .
I tryed to use the Recording for an Interview of mine.
In my screen (when the station played) i saw the *wma format.
Was exactly the same like ur attached pictured but with the wma as the format .
Recording it and i hearing it from my phone was fine.
Later i tryed to copy it and played in my PC.
I was very sad when i realized that i couldn't hear it or even opened it .
The recorded File didnt had any extation , so when i copyed to the Pc, could not recognized what program to use in order to play it.
Looking in the internet i saw several technik's but with No results . I also downloaded some wma convertes .
The problem is that Windows can not recognize the file .
When i simple change the extension to *wma (as u say in ur Post) again didnt worked.
PLz Help me ,
how i could play the file ( of my Radio Interview) in my PC and use-convert it as a common for exaple *mp3 file .
Tnk you .
I wish you a Happy New YEAR 2013

If it was streamed in wma format then thats what you have to save it as. Now, on PC vlc player can play wma files, if it doesn't for you then try installing the k-lite codec pack. that should take care of it.
I have same issue. Just recorded some radio (.aac) to test on nexus 7 using tune in pro. Changed name to.aac format and can not play back on nexus.

Just download vlc player app from play store. It supports and plays the files once you rename them.

I tried this a year or so ago, and it failed - I used Windows Media Player, and Cool Edit Pro. Upon seeing your suggestion I tried it again, but with Audacity. So far, it works on the first few files. Will it work on the remainder? I hope so. Oh, The Hope of Audacity
HOW TO Play TuneIn Radio Recordings
TuneIn Radio Pro makes recordings in whatever format (MP3, AAC, WMA, etc) a source streams in,
but does not create legal container files, making recordings (deliberately) hard to play outside of TuneIn.
To determine the format of a given source, start a manual recording and note the format shown on the TuneIn screen.
To play a recording, copy the file from the TuneIn folder on the device to a computer,
and then rename the file to give it an appropriate file extension; e.g., .mp3 for MP3 audio.
The file should now be playable in VLC Media Player.
To play in other players less forgiving of file format issues, it will need to be converted with a tool like foobar2000 or Audacity.
Even VLC Player can convert those files into mp3 or whatever else

^This, a simple batch file for Windows that will convert anything VLC can play to 128k MP3 can be done using something like this:
Code:
@echo off
:infile
set /p infile=Input File:
set /p outfile=Output File:
echo.
echo Converting...
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" "%infile%" --sout=#transcode{vcodec=none,acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=mp3,dst="%output%"}} vlc://quit
echo Done!
echo.
goto infile

I am able to open TuneIn Radio recordings with VLC or Audacity on my Mac. I can also, apparently, export the files or selections in various formats, including MP3. But how do I do that without re-encoding them?
Does anyone know a way, even perhaps using a hex editor or unix commands, to convert TuneIn Radio recordings of mp3 streams into generally-recognizable mp3 files by changing the envelope but without re-encoding the actual audio content?
TIR?
My recordings are being saved as .tir and when I change it to mp3 or aac, nothing happens. I have tried opening it in Audacity, foobar, vlc, and regular windows media player.
Is there another setting I need to do in Tune In Pro?
I am using Tune In Pro on an iphone and ipad, JB with 6.1.2
Thanks

1. Where's the .tir file extension coming from? TIP creates recordings here with no file extension.
2. What's the format of the stream you're recording? As I explain in reply #9, TRP saves the stream in its native format, so you need to check the stream for the actual format before giving it an appropriate file extension. You'll have the least trouble with MP3, so record an MP3 stream if possible.

You might want to try MP3 Analyzer (fix and repair mp3 errors) in Helium Music Manager.
I've never tried it, but it sounds promising, and there is a free version.

I'm having the same issue as the previous poster with my iPhone and TuneIn Pro. I was listening to the BBC World Service earlier this morning (on my local NPR station, michiganradio.orgg and recorded the segment on the Cyprus bailout (which was really good by the way. absolute theft from the depositors without democratic process). I pressed record in TuneIn, did some Google'ing, downloaded and installed iExplorer, exported the recording (which had a .tir extension) to my desktop, and attempted to rename to .wav/.mp3. No VLC playback. I'm worried there might be some DRM in the file...anyone want to take a look and see what they might be able to do with the recording?
I've uploaded it to my Dropbox - https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1308556/recording.tir

That is different that what Android recordings look like. I couldn't get it to play in anything, seems like a format specifically for TuneIn, .tir probably stands for TuneIn Recording. On Android the recordings are simply in the same format as the stream since reencoding them in real time would waste CPU/battery. It seems like on the iPhone it would be the same way, but it appears not to be. Did you try searching the iPhone developers forum, its a sister site to XDA and there may be info over there.

same situation - no playback by VLC etc.
additionally I can hear only 1 (probably left) channel during playback using Tunein on my phone (S III) - who has similar observations?
one comment - name of the recorded stream is named based on current date but 1 month back
Worked for me. I can listen to my recordings.
thanks! :good: a great guide!
HI!
I usually download all my torrents on mobile including my TV shows.Recently,I downloaded arrested development season 1,mkv file and was watching it using mx Pla:yer prowhen all of a sudden my mx player stopped detecting those videos.So now I have to use my file explorer then navigate to downloads and then finally select a file and click it.This ****'s irritating ,so could you guys give me your advice,since you people know more?
@rashadthegre check
Settings > List > Folders
And see if your download folder is in the list of folders to be searched by MX.

Hi,
MX Player can detect most files with default setting.
But there are still some devices not detecting all files unless adding folders manually.
It would be help for improving default setting if you send system log after refreshing video list.
Please make sure that log should be gather immediately after refreshing video list because it will be erased periodically.
Thanks

I am having the same issue. I have added the folders that my videos are in, on mutiple levels, adding every folder from the desired video folder up to root and still it has none of my desired videos and I must resort to using VLC. Here is my bug report, maybe I could get some help?

Some of your video folders contains a file named ".nomedia". It actually represents that there is no media content inside the folder. So, if you keep any videos inside that directory or any subdirectory, it will be ignored.
For example your download folder in internal memory & media folder on external memory has ".nomedia" files. That's why it's not getting listed.
Either you have to delete those files or alternatively you can force MX Player to scan the directories even if ".nomedia" file found (Goto Settings >> List & Disable "Recognise .nomedia". Then, Refresh the video list.
