Hi!
There’s an app called Photorec that can recover any media file from a lost

The problem with that app is that its command based so you need to use the 
command window to use it.

Howard:  Not completely a bad habit; saves a step...especially if you're in 
your email as you then don't need to go into your deleted items (or whatever 
it's called) folder and delete the unwanted emails; you just need to be 
absolutely sure that whatever you're deleting is something that you never will

No, I think next, I'll try and editor of some kind.  Maybe notepad or a 
Norton hex editor.

Well, I tried GoldWave and couldn't get any info or sound.  VLC, switch, and 
foobar gave nothing, also.If I knew more about mp3 files I might be able to fix 
the appropriate byte and get 'em back. That's a lot of entertainment to loose.

If it weren't for this bad habbit I have of using shift plus delete instead of 
just plane old delete.

Vlc used to be able to play even corrupted files for me.

Otherwise you might open them in gold wave and re save them and see if that

I guess the mp3 headers are damaged.

Re: [all-audio] corrupted files

2022-05-26 Thread JM Casey
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 usually use Winamp.  or GoldWave.  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.
