thanks for trying, here is the aup3:

OK, so I took a look at your szb71_KRISZTIAN.aup3 project and was not able to make a recovery.

I am currently exploring some additional ideas, including Import Raw. This will take additional time.

Do NOT keep your hopes up.

Oh! Good news! I have been able to recover 2 hours and 15 minutes of stereo audio information that to the untrained eye, look good.

I still have some double-checking to do. Then I have to compress it and upload it - which will take a while. Not to mention I have several errands to run today as well as other obligations. But we can at least cross our fingers for now. :smiley:

84

OK, so I have PMā€™d you a link to the recovered, compressed file. :smiley:

Good Luck with it! :smiley:

85

itā€™s working, Iā€™m overly happy about hearing it again. thanks a lot, you are a really good man - doing that cool things just for the sake of the community!

awesome!

Thanks for your report! :smiley:

This did not work for me. I keep getting the message ā€œfile is not a databaseā€
How can I recover my file?

Hi There. I have a problem with an audacity file (says ā€œfailed to read a file from C:ā€ when i try to open it.). I tried using the tool but it doesnā€™t work for me. I get a load of errors along the lines of ā€œThe code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140 dIl was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problemā€.

Any tips on how to fix this?

Alternatively, I have uploaded my problem file here: - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SrZwLwku2NCtx4idr6rnujnGSGkTalTf/view?usp=sharing

If someone might be so kind to have a look at it to see if it can be repaired it would be very much appreciated. I really need the audio.

I have sent you a PM with a solution to your problem.

91

Thanks a lot for the reply. Donā€™t seem to have received a PM though. Can you try to send again? Thanks

92

OK. Done.

93

Thanks so much for your kind help!

94

You are welcome - glad you got it sorted. :smiley:

Hey all,

I have found this forum after finding myself in the nightmare scenario. I had about 30 minutes of audio spliced together, and it crashed while recording. I ran the tool twice, and got the same error.

If someone could help me figure out what is going on, I would be so grateful. After running the program, I just get the same error: Cannot read from D. It is a 50gb file, and the program runs for about 5 minutes before stopping.

If anyone can help, I will be so grateful.

96

So that is a big file. I would take a look at the file but how would you get it to me? And how would I get it back to you?

Perhaps you can copy the entire ā€œcmdā€ output screen, paste it to a text file, then post that.

Do you have sufficient free space on your machine? And donā€™t try this using a networkā€™d drive.

97

Thanks for the word. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

98

does anyone know where the exe files are, Ive downloaded the tool but not a single exe file is in there.

99

Did you download "audacity-project-tools-1.0.0-win64.zip " from Release 1.0.1 Ā· audacity/audacity-project-tools Ā· GitHub ?

100

The zip file contains audacity-project-tools.exe and sqlite3.exe nestled neatly inside of a audacity-project-tools-1.0.0-win64 folder.

You many need to go to Windows File Explorer > View Tabs > and Check the ā€œFile Name Extensionsā€ box to see the .exe file extensions.
