hi ted,
i think the easiest way to fix those files is to rename the files. simply click on the filename and rename it so that the last four characters are '.mp3' -- and your mac should immediately recognize it as an mp3 music file.
for instance, if a file downloaded as a document and was named 'tool -- acoustic', you would rename it to 'tool -- acoustic.mp3' to play it.
and you don't necessarily have to keep the file name the same or even close. as long as you add the '.mp3' to the end, it should immediately pop up as an itunes or quicktime document with the appropriate icon.
best of luck...
