If they stopped playing after you renamed them, you likely removed the file extension. A file extension is the period and extra characters you see at the end of a filename, such as .mp3, .wav, .docx, etc., and is what your operating system uses to determine what the file type is so it will know what application to use to open/play it.
Rename your files again and make sure you include the appropriate file extension for the file type, then try to play them again.
