This seems to be the case, as I got it to unpack correctly after
converting the DOS style linefeeds back to Unix style (replacing
all occurences of <CR><LF> with <LF>).

So your files aren't lost ;-)

To convert it back I used a small (Win*ows...) program named
Uncook95, which someone wrote to correct MP3 files that were
corrupted the same way...

But you could of course write a few lines of code that will do
the job. Someone got a one-liner?
