I don't find goldwave plays nicely with corrupted files -- the processing usuallyc rashes with an error. I think your best bet might be VLC. It is pretty robust and doesn't fall down easily. That said even VlC won't play everything. Maybe try using something like mediainfo to see if it can even retrieve any info about the files.

I also have foobar, VLC, audacity, and, of course, Groove and WMP; but I don't know those vary well. I guess I'll try loading a couple into GoldWave first and see if it plays. If not, then I'll try the others. Appreciate your thoughts.
