It seems as thought the version of TuneIn that I have saves as something other than .wav files. Any idea what they are so that I can try to import/convert on my mac?
i have an iphone 3g, and am thinking about getting the 4s.. is it possible to transfer all data (including saved tunein recordings) onto the new iphone?? please help and reply to my post.. thank you!!
@fernando1magelan Interestingly everything that was recorded prior to Feb 1 still converts to .wav. Everything after is a useless file (because I don't know what kind of encoding it has). Please someone help!!
@ilandgeek i tried to play it after changing extension to wav., and i even tried playing the converted file to mp3 but it gave me this message instead, "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file."
What codec should I download to make this work? Thank you!
When I go to Raw File System, I cannot find a folder named private. Any ideas? Is it hidden, or is it just non existent on my ipodtouch? Any help appreciated.
Btw, I have to make an important remark that is going to save everyone a lot of time - i'm using the newest version of TuneIn and the file i recorded turned out to be mp3 by default. I mean that i tried to open it with winamp, without renaming the file extension and it worked. It also showed that it is Mpeg-1 Layer 3, basically mp3. So, you don't need to convert the file but just rename it to mp3 for easier useafter :)
Anyway, i'm not sure if it depends on the stream type...
Shouldnt depend on the stream type. But renaming the file to .mp3, .mp4, .aac, or whatever aint working. So dont really know how the hell that worked for u....
@mbe1ge Check my last comment. You won't find an mp3 file directly, as it is shown in the video. The files are recorded as xxxxxx.0, xxxxxx.1, xxxxxx.2 and s.o. and you have to rename the file extension.
Ok, so the other day i did a lot of experimenting and came to the following conclusion:
1. The only version of TuneIn radio that you can use to directly rename the file extension to .mp3 is v2.2!!!! This only works for mp3 streams, because...
2. ...when the stream is wma, the recorded files have a separate header, which i didn't find a way to merge with the music file. i haven't tried recording aac streams;
3. Newer versions of the program than the aforementioned v2.2 add an encryption and...
...it's not possible to get a working audio file at all, no matter how you rename the file extension
So, use the method described in the video up to the place where, instead of renaming to wav and then converting to mp3, just rename the file ext to .mp3. The best way to see if you have a working audio file is to directly play it in Winamp. If it plays without renaming the extension, just add .mp3 to it.
The files were recorded before I jailbroke my device but I copied them once broken. I use a Mac so used a different technique to access the folder. Then placed all the files on my hard drive. I've got a load more since then of course.
Previously I found that only a file under 5 minutes would play. This led me to wonder if the multi-part files need to be joined. However as anyone got a multi-part file to play. How about emulating tuneinradio on a Mac, using a iphone developer tool. Then it could be possible to record the sound digitally within the computer. The alternative is to join the multi-part files if that's the answer but I'm not even sure that is.
@fdunlop1973 i honestly not sure what to help you with... no other method has worked and mine still works... are you using i funbox? and are you copy it over and not trying to move it?
Thank for your video ilandgeek. It seems to be working with other people, but I can't locate private/var folder on my device.. Do you have any idea how I can fix this problem? Thanks in advance!!!
I found one problem why files become corrupted. After you rename file and change format to wav you trying to convert it to mp3 format by Switch Sound program. I did the same and files was corrupted some files was ok but just two from hundred. I change program to another and it works. i tryed Total Video Converter. Try do not use beta versions. Cheers.
On the Mac or in linux, if you've a jailbroken iDevice and have ssh, you can ssh into it and find TuneIn's location with 'find / -iname 'tunein*' -type d'. Then use scp to copy it over to your computer, like so: 'scp -pr root@idevicename:/path/to/the/recording destination/folder'
hiya mate it does work so am eternally grateful ;-) however if i have recorded using tune in radio before it was jail broken can those recordings be transferred?? i dnt think so ??? it doesnt work when i change to wav n load it in a player just says corrupt ??? did a quick recording when jailbroken it works
@stylezee12 im glad it did man. i honestly havent ever tried it when my phone wasnt jail broken, but i beleive that the corruption file happens when transfering it from the iphone to the computer. look up ssh non jailbroken devices and you might get thru
ya i did everything... set it to a wav, but everytime i open it in wmp it says its not a recognized file type... and when i put it into any of my different music editing software it does the same
@ilandgeek ... i did everything you said to do ... at first i play the file exactly where you played the file. and it doesn't play. so i jus continued hoping that when i change it to mp3 it would be fine... now i went to file converter (same program yu recommended) and it says file could not be read. .... what now?
@yowadsup321 make sure you change the file extension to wav peform you import into swithc sound file converter to then convert to mp3. i havent tried anyother but its simple it should work. rename the whole file to rec1.wav and it should ask do you want to change this file and then hit yes
@ilandgeek i have tried the method that you have given me. However, it still does not work. I changed the format of the file to '.wav'. I cannot play on WMP or RealPlayer. I tried converting the file, it says it is 'specific source format could not be read'.
