Re: An audio file with no extention and isn't recognised
A friend of mine downloaded a sound clip from the Dr Who site's text only version and that one's a strange beast as well, she couldn't open it and she sent it to me, when I try to open it I get told that the file format's not reognized and windows needs to access the net to find out what to open it with, very very strange!!

I have a problem converting a file I have. It was sent to me as an attachment from a friend who in turn received it from some one else. It is a recording from a radio programme. My problem is, it is 2.7mg in size and I wanted to compress it further in order to embed it and send it on. However, when I tried to use Gold wave, it didn't recognize the file and didn't list it on the list of audio files in my document folder. I tried Sound Taxi but again, it didn't appear in the list of files. I can play the file with WMA but it says that it doesn't recognise the file type but may be able to play it anyway and do I want it to try. I said yes and it did. It won't play in reel player or any other player I have except WMA but with the proviso above. I looked at the properties and it said the file type was file but nothing else. I turned on the extensions but although all other files had an extension, this file did not, yet it is an audio file as I can listen to it but can do nothing else with it. If anyone has any idea what file type it is and how I can get into it to edit it, I would be appreciative. Many thanks. Walter.

Re: An audio file with no extention and isn't recognised
Hi, Depending on the size of the file such as 3 to 5 mbs. Have you tried renaming the file with a mp3 extention. It's a long shot but it might work. Try different options such as wav or mp3. It will give you a warning that renaming file extentions is posibly detromental but just answer okay and hope for the best. Make a backup of the file before you try anything. Take care, Gary. - Original Message - From: Dancing Queen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Friday, July 25, 2008 2:01 PM Subject: Re: An audio file with no extention and isn't recognised A friend of mine downloaded a sound clip from the Dr Who site's text only version and that one's a strange beast as well, she couldn't open it and she sent it to me, when I try to open it I get told that the file format's not reognized and windows needs to access the net to find out what to open it with, very very strange!!

RE: An audio file with no extention and isn't recognised
I'd make a copy of the file and begin adding dot mp3 wma and other likely extensions until you find the right one. That is if opening the file is worth it to you. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dancing Queen Sent: Friday, July 25, 2008 8:02 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: An audio file with no extention and isn't recognised A friend of mine downloaded a sound clip from the Dr Who site's text only version and that one's a strange beast as well, she couldn't open it and she sent it to me, when I try to open it I get told that the file format's not reognized and windows needs to access the net to find out what to open it with, very very strange!!
