It's only happened with a few: I've attached them in a ZIP if you want to analyse them at all.

they seem to work after being converted to mp3's and than back to wavs

i dunno if this makes the difference but i noted that in the convertion
my wavs were bigger in size and these things changed (i dont know much about audio files and things )

previous wavs:
channels - 1(mono)
bit rate - 121kbps to about 88kbps
sample rate - averaging 11 - 15 kHz

converted:
channels - 2(stereo)
bit rate - 1411kbps
sample rate - 44kHz

here's one attachment..

Not a Msg Plus! bug, but corrupted/wrong (or not recognized) encoded .wav i think.

hmm...  do you think that (it's not a bug) but that plus! like my some cd buring programs accepts only "higher" quality files?

i know that the files i converted did not change in "sound" quality but since the properties changed and stuff, i think maybe it is "read" as being higher quality... and that is why plus! accepts it.
i dont know i'm a noob. just some random thoughts.

would it be that plus only accepts stereo sounds? or do other mono sounds work?

Very possible, i don't know about the encoding of audio either. My thought behind it is...aslong as it happens with only a few files, the file is to blame..

* Sunshine waits for Cookie to step in and analyse the original files...

Maybe he or Patchou can give an explanation.

I know that when you encoded the wav to mp3 and back you removed the metadata, maybe that's why plus! won't accept it?

EDIT: Those sounds from raceprouk also don't have metadata, it's not that then

I think it's the bitrate

i'm going to test some low quality sounds right now with plus! and see if the same thing happens

i cannot be sure, but knowing that plus! uses some decoding\encoding libraries.... these are the ones responsible for things like that.... probably patchou needs to use more\better libraries..... still i got no technical details of plus! to start guessing

He's using the LAME mp3 encoder
