so my laptop has been all fucked up recently and I lost half of the first set of the Lotus show I taped last night when it died on me (second set came out great though!). what I have of first set is about a half hour long and will play in Foobar but when I load it in wavelab, audacity, or audition, it shows up blank. when i tried to convert it to a FLAC it gave me the following error message:
WARNING: skipping unknown sub-chunk (weird non english characters)
I tried to changed the extension to a txt file and open it as such but its too large and keeps freezing the computer when i try to open it (in any word application i have)
anyone have any ideas on how i can fix this?

When your lappy died, it didn't write the header for the end of the file.
It should be easy to fix. The way I have fixed that problem is to open the file in CDWav. Then re-save it with the proper bit and sample rate.

There is a small application called audiohck.exe that folks use to correct this type of problem. I have never used it, but I got it one day because I read that it happens a lot to folks that run PDA set-up's using the PDAudio card. If you want to PM your email addy I can send it to you.

ahh i forgot about CDWave...looks like that did the trick! why is the free software smart enough to figure that out and the expensive ones (wavelab and audition) unable to?
thanks guys!

I think WL and Audition will handle it, but you need to specify that the data is in RAW format or some such.
