What is the purpose of finding this out? I too was wondering that. the methods can tell whether the a file labelled as .mp3 contains a lossy-compressed audio, they do not tell whether the .mp3 was compressed from a .wav source Yes. As I wrote in my reply "If there are frequencies above 20kHz p...

Found it. It's not from Audacity 1.2.x, it's from the Steve Harris LADSPA plug-in collection: http://plugin.org.uk/ladspa-swh/docs/la ... h_sEc2.105
It's listed on the Audacity Plug-ins and Libraries download page as "an additional set of over 90 LADSPA plug-ins.".

Out of curiosity, what's the technical reason for why this works? Basically what PGA wrote. The problem is really a Windows bug rather than anything to do with Audacity.

I haven't looked up the wav format spec, to see if that is non-standard. Yes that's non-standard and is a known problem with Sound Forge 6 files. The WAV export library that Audacity uses chokes on that extra metadata. As you've already discovered, the way to work around the issue is to clear the m...

Audacity 1.3 beta has been replaced with Audacity 2.0 Projects made with 1.3 beta are compatible with 2.0, in fact if you have been using a recent version of 1.3 beta you will not see much difference with 2.0.
