Can’t open exported file

So basically after I finished recording all my audio, I tried exporting my audio and playing it just like how anybody would. But for no reason whatsoever, when I tried opening and listening to the file on the default Groove player, it would show up with the error code: 0x80070002. When I try importing it to audacity, it would say crap like “file not found”. To be honest, I don’t know what’s happening here and I just need help get the dang thing playing.

Little more info.

What audio? From where?

I tried exporting my audio and playing it just like how anybody would.

Exporting as what kind of file? Most people don’t export and it gets them in trouble.

listening to the file on the default Groove player

Isn’t the default Windows Media Player?

When I try importing it to audacity, it would say crap like “file not found”.

Do you have Windows set to show you filename extensions? Do you see .mp3 or .wav at the ends of your filenames? What did you call the files? What’s one actual filename? Did you put dates in the name?

What audio? From where?

The audio I recorded in Audacity and also from Audacity.

it was a MP3.

Isn’t the default Windows Media Player?

I’m pretty sure it is for now on Windows 10.

Do you have Windows set to show you filename extensions? Do you see .mp3 or .wav at the ends of your filenames? What did you call the files? What’s one actual filename? Did you put dates in the name?

Yes, I checked the properties of the file and it says it’s an MP3 file, I named it test and alike, and no, I don’t think I put any dates on it.

If it’s not playing in Groove or Windows Media Player it’s probably corrupted. I have no idea why that happened. You might try again, maybe with a WAV file. Exporting WAV & MP3 are usually pretty foolproof. (It’s not unusual to run-across “imperfect” MP3 files that you can’t open, but MP3s created with Audacity are normally fine.)

What version of Audacity are you using?

Does the file size look about right? It depends on the MP3 bitrate & playing time but a “typical” good-quality MP3 is 1-2 MB per minute.

You might try checking the file with [u]MediaInfoOnline[/u]. If it’s an MP3 it should say “MPEG Audio”, "Version 1, and “Layer 3”. It will also show the bitrate and playing time, and a bunch of other information. (It doesn’t always tell you if the MP3 is bad or corrupt but sometimes it gives clues.)



Well I’m pretty sure I also forgot to mention that on the PC I’m using, I’m sharing it with another person so there are two accounts on the PC. My account is not the admin account but I do have access to it. I have a feeling that maybe this might be one thing that can help.
