Tmp files are temporary files created by applications on your computer and are not media files.

.tmp files aren't media files.
They are temporary files created by applications on your computer.

Mp3, avi, wma, jpg and others can be opened with media players but a tmp file will need another program to possibly convert it to the other file type
