I'm having problems playing one specific WAV file in foobar 0.9b8 while it plays fine in foobar 0.8.3. Other WAV files play fine without any problems. I get the following error:

CODE

Error opening file for decoding (Unsupported format or corrupted file): F:\Mp3's\Original Soundtracks\Boondock Saints\Boondock Saints - And Shepards We Shall Be.wav

Fileinfo:

CODE

bitrate = 1411
samplerate = 44100
channels = 2
codec = PCM
bitspersample = 16
----------
754560 samples @ 44100Hz
File size: 3 018 284 bytes

Let me know if you need more info.
It's a small file (about 3MB), let me know where to send it to if you need it.

File made with broken software (incorrect RIFF header length). If something plays it properly then you're just lucky.

If you need a "quick-n-dirty" fix to make it playable -
Compress with FLAC (other lossless formats might also work),
then decompress back to WAV

Won't it be quicker to use 0.8.3's diskwriter to make a new copy?

Darn, sorry about that. Thank you for checking.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll give it a go and see if it works.
