Hot to repair corrupted flac file (missing header)

(1/2) > >>

Andrea82:
Hi to all,
I had a problem with one of my hard drive. So I send it to a specialized firm and then recover the files to another hdd.
Now I have all the files, but the flac files doesn't playback on a music player.
I can open, and listen without problem with audio software Amadeus Pro (not in Soundforge, Adobe Audition, Audacity).
So if I open the track with Amadeus Pro and then I select "save as" and I make a new flac file, the file is 100% good and I can open with music player.
The question is:
Is there a software (mac or win) that can repair the header of flac files? Is there another way to fix it?
Please let me know.
Many thanks to all.

theres a few tools to correct wav headers

flac im not sure.

you can try opening it in soundforge in RAW mode

you need to specify bit depth sample rate, and a big/little endian header
