Long .Wav file (48 Minutes) not importing in audacity

Post by RocketshipChair » Mon Jun 15, 2009 5:54 am

Hi folks,
I am trying to open a 48 minute Wav file in audacity. It appears that only the first second is imported when opening the file in audacity. The file plays fine in other players. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Andrew

That is only a partial description of the file format. Is it a 48 minute "16 bit stereo Microsoft PCM WAV" file or some other variation?

You can get some details about the file by right clicking on it and selecting "Properties", and additional information in the "Advanced" properties. For full information about the file use a program such as SUPER by erightsoft.

It is a 8 bit PCM wav file. The bit rate is 176 kbps and the sample rate is 22kHz. It is also recorded in mono.
