Aha. I should try that with the supposed discord sound files too as they have no extension and I can't even figure out what format theyr'e supposed to be. I want to change the sounds as I don't like them. -Original Message- From: all-audio@groups.io On Behalf Of Anders Holmberg Sent:

Hi! Audacity has a import feature that import just raw audio. That might help. /A > 26 maj 2022 kl. 18:59 skrev 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

Good idea. Then you'll at least know what it is that you've got left, maybe. -Original Message- From: all-audio@groups.io On Behalf Of Howard Traxler Sent: May 26, 2022 01:32 PM To: all-audio@groups.io Subject: Re: [all-audio] corrupted files No, I think next, I'll try and editor of

No, I think next, I'll try and editor of some kind.  Maybe notepad or a Norton hex editor. Howard On 5/26/2022 12:20 PM, JM Casey wrote: It's possible that, even though you were able to recover the file records, the file data itself has been replaced with with 0s or perhaps some altogether

It's possible that, even though you were able to recover the file records, the file data itself has been replaced with with 0s or perhaps some altogether different data. Even though you wouldn’t' be able to make anything of it, have you tried opening one of these in a text editor to see if it

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. Howard If it weren't for this bad habbit I have of using

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

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. Howard On

Hi! What players do you have? Vlc used to be able to play even corrupted files for me. Foobar2000 might work. Otherwise you might open them in gold wave and re save them and see if that works. I guess the mp3 headers are damaged. /A > 26 maj 2022 kl. 17:55 skrev Howard Traxler : > > By

By accident, I deleted a folder full of music; about 600 mp3 files. I used recuva to get them all back.  Well, they came back, the names and sizes look right, but now no audio player will play them. How can I fix 'em?  Ideas?  Thanks. Howard -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You
