Hi, I've donwloaded some radio recordings to my PC - VLC won't play them but the MS Groove App will (Windows 10). It looks like VLC thinks that they are corrupted. Anyone else come across this?

Are you trying to play the recording file as downloaded or extracting the audio from it and trying to play that?
(I use tsMuxer to extract audio tracks from recordings)

May not be much help but suspect VLC expects .ts (transport stream) container files to have a video stream codec it understands. VLC should be able to extract the audio stream from the .ts file in a format you can use externally.
Random search.

Anyone else come across this?Possibly you have confused VLC to the format of the files. The original recordings are not MP3 but your thread title mentions MP3. What have you done to introduce MP3 into the equation?

No. VLC works fine on HDR-FOX T2 audio only recordings when I last tried it.

Many thanks for the replies.
When I access my 4000T using File Explorer on my Windows 10 PC the audio recordings are already listed as MP3 - with the extension MP3.
The FAQ for the 4000T on this forum here shows this: https://myhumax.org/forum/topic/file-transfer
Which is basically what I get.
I have already tried to use VLC to 'convert' the format but it fails - although I've sucessfully converted the audio from .TS files from other sources on this PC using VLC.

Interesting. File extension is .mp3, audio is actually mp2 (mpeg1 layer 2).
Try changing the file extension to .mpg

Thanks very much for the advice.
I changed the file extension to MP2 and it now works.
Actually I'm using VLC to recode the files to reduce their size.
Thanks onece again!
