That "ascii garbage" is base64 encoded content. You'll want
to decode that.


Copy all of that "garbage" (in your case, starting from the line with
"/+MYx"… up to all of those "qqq") into a text file named, in this case,
voice_message_2012-5-8_15-47-26.mp3.b64.

Then, in a terminal, run:

$ base64 -d voice_message_2012-5-8_15-47-26.mp3.b64 > 
voice_message_2012-5-8_15-47-26.mp3

voice_message_2012-5-8_15-47-26.mp3 will then be your MP3 file.

PS: What does this have to do with Ubuntu? :)
