I have the ffmpeg plug in so Audacity should be able to read .wv files however, when I import them in the resulting file is empty. I tried this with multiple files with same result.
As a further test I imported the files in question into VLC and I can see the album cover however, no sound comes out. Something is wrong somewhere.
I tried different .wv files from another folder and the results are the same.
Can anyone help/advise?
Thank you
P.S. I’ve attached a screen shot to show you what I see.
That’s a WavPack file? I guess you didn’t make this file yourself? Maybe it’s no good?
Try dragging it into [u]MediaInfoOnline[/u]. That should tell you the “actual” format, the playing time, the bitrate, etc. That may give you some “clues”.
I’ve never actually used WavPack, but I just made one and I was able to re-import it and it also played fine in VLC.
Thanks DVDDoug. NO, everything seems fine with the files
here below is the info regarding one of them I removed some unnecessary lines for brevity, like track title etc)

Well… If you can find something to play it you can record it as it plays to get a new copy. But, if nothing will play it or open it I think you’re out-of-luck.
You could try converting it to WAV with [u]TAudioConverter[/u] or some other converter but I’m guessing the file is just bad and nothing is going to work.
