I don't understand how you can think that - except AFAICT it looks like while you were removing all the "#####"s you've also snipped the part of my original post where it said...

Sadly, that's not what I'm getting.

VLC player and foobar2k already reported they were mp3s, and using your command line, mplayer confirms it...
