Soundclips unavailable after renaming them

[G-CW-00663860]

Hi. I have a bunch of sound clips/ music ideas from older and newer phones stored in DB. The other day in went through them, and changed names on 4 or 5 clips, which resulted in me not being able to listen to them anymore. When I do as the app says, log in from a computer and download them , they are just a sheet of coding. What am I doing wrong? About 150 sound clips I really dont want to loose. I can still play the clips that I did not change name on from the app on my phone, but i cant play any of them from my computer.  Thanks for helping.

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.
