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! :)

Hello everybody !
Importing wavosaur 1.1.0.0 .wav files in some softwares (soundplant v.41j public beta) cause trouble, because of wav header. Any idea how to solve this? |

hello,
i'm downloading the soundplant demo at the moment
we"ll give a test
we respect the wav specification, so there shouldn't be any problem.
i'll keep you in touch when we find a solution for this problem ! |

You can download the file here :

The developer just answered me that it could be a matter of waveform analysis failure. The file playback with no problems.
But enjoy, soundplant is one of the best software sampler I know, very easy user experience. |

the sample is mono 24 bit
i know many software had bugs with this configuration.
you were able to show this bug in soundforge 5 for example : creating new mono 24 bit wav file (with odd number of sample), add a loop then hit "save"
=> "saving error " !
it was fixed in SF6
maybe this is not he same bug origin.
does it happen if you convert to stereo ? or bit reduce to 16 bit ? |

i converted this file to stereo 16bit (still 96kHz) with wavosaur and the file now works... you're right!
the stereo 24bit file load and play (as the mono does) but I still got this error message.
thks for your explanations. |
