HI Rex,
The file is a .wav extension but file properties report MPEG Layer-3, otherwise all looks normal. |

| we know this problem, mp3 encoded wav give an error, until you rename thefile to .mp3 (with .mp3 extension it can be loaded) |

Hi Wavosaur team and a happy new year from me (first time in 2009 I check the forum  )!!!
I was just about to make a request about this.. could you please change the behaviour on this? Also the batch processor just reports the "wrong format".
When a file got the wrong extension, isn't it possible to identify the format in the file-header, or do I miss something here? Great would be something that IrfanView does with graphic files, e.g. when I open a .bmp that has an .jpg extension it tells me about it and offers to correct the extension.

thanks R.A.W and happy new year
those .wav have the good extension, but they are mp3 compressed.
we should have a look at that and handle all those weird files. |

well, it's not that weird actually... there are some sample-websites out there (no commercial though) which link to audio files with wav extension which are mp3s.
you can just reproduce the issue by simply renaming a .mp3 to .wav.. it would be great if you could just ignore the wrong extension, so thanks in advance for your efforts! :)
